Nov. 18, 2026
Howard Green is a three-time bestselling author and was one of the founding team at Business News Network (now BNN Bloomberg) where he anchored for 15 years. In addition to writing books, Green has provided communications advisory services to corporations, pension funds, universities and regulatory agencies. His three-decades in broadcast journalism give him the singular experience required for transformational C-Level presentation coaching, facilitating board and executive committee meetings, moderating C-Suite and expert-level conversations, building institutional narratives and conducting storytelling workshops. His latest book, "Gimme a Crisis: In the Room with Global Banker Rick Waugh", profiles former Scotiabank CEO and sketches an unprecedented and upclose picture of what it is like to run a global bank, often during financial chaos, while leading more than 80,000 employees in more than fifty countries. As long-time host of BNN’s flagship show, "Headline with Howard Green", Green conducted some 14,000 interviews; from Richard Branson to Tony Blair to Alan Greenspan. In 2013, HarperCollins published his first book, "Banking on America: How TD Bank Rose to the Top and Took on the USA", an immediate bestseller. In 2016, he released his second book, co-authored with Charles Bronfman. "Distilled: A Memoir of Family, Seagram, Baseball and Philanthropy" was also a bestseller and finalist for the National Business Book Award. In addition, Green is a prize-winning documentary maker. He directed, wrote and co-produced "The Investigation of Swissair 111", a film about the multi-year inquiry into an air crash that cost 229 lives. For that, he won the top TV prize in Canada, The Gemini Award and was nominated for two Emmys for a version that aired on PBS’s NOVA. The film was broadcast worldwide. In 2006, Green was awarded a prestigious Knight-Bagehot Fellowship at Columbia University, where he earned his Master’s. He is also a graduate of Carleton University’s School of Journalism.
