Canadian-based broadcast reporter and producer turned investor, media entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
Jeremy Szafron is a dynamic financial news anchor, investor, and media entrepreneur whose journalism reaches over one million homes each week. Known for his sharp market analysis, high-impact interviews, and ability to break down complex global developments in real time, Jeremy is the current on-air anchor for Kitco News, one of the world’s leading sources for commodities and financial market coverage.
His broadcasting career began in 2005 as an Entertainment Reporter for CTV in Montreal. Over more than a decade with Bell Media, Jeremy became a trusted voice in national newsrooms, reporting live across television, radio, and digital platforms. He covered global icons from Madonna to the Kardashians and interviewed high-profile figures including Justin Trudeau and Al Gore. As a business reporter, he brought clarity to economic trends on BNN Bloomberg and across national CTV programs.
After Bell Media, Jeremy expanded into global current affairs as the host and producer of Spotlight for PressReader, reaching more than 30 million subscribers across 150 countries.
In 2018, he launched The Green Scene Podcast, one of the first cannabis-focused business shows, growing it to over 350,000 subscribers and 400,000 weekly downloads. That success evolved into Initiate Research, an investor-first media firm focused on exclusive small-cap deal flow on the TSX and CSE. Jeremy has advised numerous companies on capital markets, corporate governance, and investor relations.
Off-camera, he remains a committed investor with a sharp eye for macro trends and ground-floor opportunities. He holds a journalism degree from Concordia University and lives in Vancouver with his wife Mackenzie and their two pups.
