Alexis Glick, born Alexis Cahill Donnelly on August 7, 1972, in New York City, began her career in finance after graduating from Columbia University with a bachelor’s degree in political science. She started as an analyst in the Equities Division at Goldman Sachs, gaining early exposure to the intricacies of the financial markets. Her career progressed to Morgan Stanley, where she distinguished herself by becoming the first and youngest woman to manage the firm’s floor operations at the New York Stock Exchange. In this role, from 1998 to 2001, Glick was a top producer on the company’s Listed Equity Trading Desk, focusing on consumer and entertainment stocks, utility and real estate investment trusts, and, notably, financial instruments including banks, credit card stocks, government agencies, and insurance stocks. Her deep understanding of market dynamics and executive leadership laid the groundwork for her future endeavors.
Following her successful tenure on Wall Street, Glick transitioned into media, initially as a senior business correspondent for CNBC, with appearances as a temporary host on NBC’s Today in 2006 and a substitute anchor on Early Today in 2005. A significant turning point in her career was joining Fox News in September 2006 as Director of Business News. She was instrumental in launching the Fox Business Network (FBN), one of the largest cable news networks in history, appearing on programming starting July 2007.

During this period, Glick conducted interviews with notable figures such as President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Warren Buffett, and Rupert Murdoch. She departed FBN in December 2009.

She served as the CEO of the GENYOUth Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on promoting child health and wellness through improved nutrition and physical activity. Under her leadership, GENYOUth secured significant support from entities like the NFL, Fortune 500 companies, and federal agencies, raising $200 million to combat child hunger and increase access to physical activity, including flag football resources for millions of children. She stepped down from this role in January 2022. More recently, Glick served as CEO of Nature Energy North America, where she played a key role in the sale of the biomethane producer to Shell, marking the largest deal in the industry.
