Adrian Dearnell

A graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Brown University, Dearnell first worked for ABC News in Paris, and then for Bloomberg TV in London. He subsequently became the main anchor for Bloomberg TV in France, conducting more than 3,000 interviews with market strategists, chief economists, financial analysts, portfolio managers, and a majority of the CEOs of publicly traded companies in France. In 2002, Dearnell founded EuroBusiness Media, which specializes in the production and distribution of web TV interviews with CEOs of publicly traded companies. These web TV interviews, called CEO-Direct(TM), are broadcast worldwide to a targeted audience of institutional investors and financial analysts. The company collects the best practices of Anglo- American communication into eight points, entitled EBM's Communic8, highlighting the proven, most-effective principles of business communications and delivering the message either verbally, in writing or by video. As a bilingual financial journalist, Dearnell is regularly called upon to do media training for executives, asset managers and other financial professionals who are expected to interact with the media or communicate in front of an audience. These trainings are often specialized to address the presentation of financial information. He is also often called upon to act as interviewer/moderator for corporate conferences and seminars, and regularly interviews asset managers as well. In December 2014, Dearnell compiled more than two decades of coaching experience and international business TV interviews with some of the world's most important CEOs into a handbook on media training.
