Kitco News is thrilled to announce that Jeremy Szafron has joined the team as an anchor and producer in its Vancouver bureau. With a rich background in journalism, Jeremy brings extensive experience in entertainment, current affairs, and finance.
Jeremy began his journalism career in 2006 with CTV, Canada’s largest network. He initially captivated audiences as an entertainment reporter before shifting his focus to business reporting, particularly in mining and small-cap industries. His insightful analysis of macro-financial trends established him as a prominent commentator on CTV Morning Live and a frequent presence on CTV News Network.
A standout moment in Jeremy’s career was his coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, where he highlighted the Olympic community and produced segments from various Country Houses at the event. This enriching experience led him to create an online video news program for PressReader, steering the platform into a new era. PressReader serves as a digital newsstand, offering access to 8,000 newspaper and magazine editions in 60 languages from over 120 countries.
In 2012, Jeremy embarked on his own digital media journey by launching The Green Scene Podcast, which remarkably amassed over 400,000 subscribers. Through this platform, he established himself as a prominent voice in the burgeoning cannabis industry. Following this achievement, he initiated Investor Scene and Initiate Research—news platforms designed to provide exclusive market insights and deal-flow opportunities within the mining and Canadian small-cap sectors.
Beyond his journalistic pursuits, Jeremy has served as a market strategist and investor relations consultant for various publicly traded companies across the mining, energy, consumer packaged goods, and technology sectors.
A proud graduate of Concordia University with a BA in Journalism, Jeremy’s educational background has significantly contributed to his versatile and dynamic career. Now, as an anchor at Kitco News, he is poised to keep a global audience informed on the latest developments and key issues in finance and commodities.
