He also contributes regularly to the New Economy Saturday newsletter, hosts TV interviews, and serves as an editor-at-large at Bloomberg Businessweek.

Prior to taking on his role at BNE, Schatzker spent 15 years at Bloomberg Television as a reporter, anchor and interviewer where he developed and hosted the Front Row series of in-depth conversations with preeminent leaders in finance. His recent accomplishments include a rare interview with Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, breaking major developments in the multibillion-dollar collapse of Archegos Capital Management and a Businessweek cover story in which he went behind the scenes of an FBI sting operation.
