New York, NY – The Museum of American Finance has launched a new monthly video series featuring CEOs from across the financial industry discussing “Why Wall Street Matters” from their individual perspectives. The CEO Series is a collaboration between the Museum and Cheddar, a live and on demand news network covering technology, media and entertainment, which broadcasts daily from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
The first CEO video in the series debuted in September on the Museum’s YouTube channel, as well as Cheddar’s website and across both organizations’ social media platforms. Each month, the featured CEO will appear on Cheddar’s Opening Bell show as well.
According to David Cowen, president of the Museum of American Finance, the need for the general public to understand our financial systems has never been greater. “The CEO Series will help us broaden awareness of the power of finance and the capital markets as drivers of the economy,” he said.
