Kitco News is thrilled to welcome Jeremy Szafron as its new anchor and producer from the Vancouver bureau. With an extensive background in journalism spanning various sectors, Jeremy is set to enrich the team’s dynamic coverage of finance and commodities.
Jeremy’s journalism career kicked off in 2006 at CTV, Canada’s leading television network. He began by captivating audiences as an entertainment reporter before making a shift to business journalism, specializing in mining and small-cap companies. His insightful analysis of macro-financial and market trends quickly established him as a sought-after commentator on shows like CTV Morning Live and on CTV News Network.
One of the highlights of Jeremy’s career was his coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, where he brought the Olympic community to life by hosting segments from various Country Houses. This experience spurred him to create an online video news program for PressReader, steering the brand into a new era of digital content. PressReader serves as a digital newsstand featuring over 8,000 editions from newspapers and magazines in more than 60 languages across 120 countries.
In 2012, Jeremy took a bold step into his own digital media venture by launching The Green Scene Podcast. The podcast quickly amassed over 400,000 subscribers, positioning him as a prominent voice in the burgeoning cannabis industry. Following this success, he introduced Investor Scene and Initiate Research—news platforms dedicated to providing exclusive market insights and facilitating deal-flow opportunities within the mining sector and among Canadian small-cap companies.
In addition to his media endeavors, Jeremy has served as a market strategist and investor relations consultant for numerous publicly traded companies in industries such as mining, energy, consumer packaged goods, and technology.
A proud graduate of Concordia University with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Jeremy’s educational foundation has significantly contributed to his diverse and impactful career. At Kitco News, he is poised to keep a global audience updated on crucial developments and trends within the financial and commodities landscapes.
