Howard Green Biography

Howard Green is a three-time bestselling author who spent more than three decades in broadcasting. In addition to writing books, Howard is an executive presentation coach, assisting leaders to develop and hone public speaking skills. He works with an array of top executives across a range of industries--professional services, technology, transportation, financial services, commercial real estate, equity research, and pharma.

One of the founding team at Business News Network in Canada (now BNNBloomberg), Green anchored from the channel's first day in 1999 until mid-2014, conducting approximately 14,000 interviews and hosted BNN's flagship show, "Headline with Howard Green." On "Headline," he interviewed everyone from Alan Greenspan to Tony Blair to Mark Carney to Larry Fink--not to mention an endless number of North American CEOs, decision-makers, and market players. In 2021-22, he hosted "Connexion with Howard Green," a twelve-part video and podcast interview series with the Toronto Star.

In January 2013, Green released his first book, "Banking on America: How TD Bank Rose to the Top and Took on the USA" published by HarperCollins. It was an immediate bestseller and was released in the United States in paperback in May 2014. Alongside Charles Bronfman, Green co-authored his second book "Distilled: A Memoir of Family, Seagram, Baseball and Philanthropy," again under the imprint of HarperCollins. It was published in October 2016 and was a Globe and Mail and Toronto Star bestseller as well as an instant bestseller on Amazon. In 2017, "Distilled" was named a finalist for the National Business Book Award. In September 2018, Howard's third book, "Railroader: The Unfiltered Genius and Controversy of Four-Time CEO Hunter Harrison," was published and became an immediate number-one national bestseller. In 2019, it was named a finalist for the National Business Book Award. Bill Gates posted "Railroader" on his blog as one of the books he read in 2019, and Warren Buffett referenced the book at Berkshire Hathaway's Annual Meeting. Green narrated the audio book versions of both "Distilled" and "Railroader."

He is also a prize-winning documentary maker. He directed, wrote, and co-produced The Investigation of Swissair 111, a highly acclaimed 90-minute film for CBC and Swiss National TV that took viewers inside the four-and-a-half-year inquiry into a plane crash that cost the lives of 229 people. For his work on the film, Green won the top television prize in Canada, The Gemini Award, and was nominated for two Emmys for a U.S. version that aired on the PBS series "NOVA." The film has been broadcast worldwide and was also a finalist for The Japan Prize and a duPont-Columbia Award.

In 2006, Green took a one-year sabbatical from BNN at Columbia University in New York City. Columbia selected him as one of ten business journalists from around the world for the prestigious Knight-Bagehot Fellowship, which provides an opportunity for those chosen to deepen their understanding of business.

He began covering business in 1988. For ten years, Howard was a contributing producer and reporter at Venture, a weekly business magazine program on CBC-TV. He also reported from Canada for PBS' Nightly Business Report from 1989-94. From 1995-99, Green produced and reported for CBC's info technology and media series, Undercurrents, and from 1990 until 2004, he made nearly a dozen documentaries for which he received several awards. His work has been seen in some 50 countries. As well, Howard consults as a communications advisor and moderates at conferences.

He has a Bachelor of Journalism from Carleton University in Ottawa and a master's from Columbia University in New York. From 2013 until 2016, he served on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Journalism Foundation. He is currently an Ambassador for Dyslexia Canada and a special advisor to the Founder and Chair.

Green was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He lives in Toronto.
