Brooke Corte joined Sky News in 2002 and has been integral to the significant expansion of the network's business programming since then.
She currently presents Market Express, Trading Day, Lunch Money, Social Business and Read and Profit on Sky News Business. She is also the popular face of business and finance news on Sky News First Edition and News Day.
Corte's first role with Sky News eight years ago was as a part-time, junior production assistant on the business team. The role mostly involved getting people coffees and doing data entry for the nightly business report, but her responsibilities quickly broadened. She soon became a full time business news producer, also filing finance reports for Seven news, Sunrise, and radio stations 2GB, 2UE and 3AW.
By 2004 Corte was in front of the camera and in 2008, she was proudly part of the team that launched the Sky News Business channel amid the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
During her time with the Sky team she has covered many significant finance stories, including the collapse of financial markets and corporations throughout the GFC. She also extensively covered the Australian Henry Review of Taxation, as well as the infamous NAB currency trading scandal, the OneTel and HIH trials and multiple Federal Budgets.
Corte has also reported on major company stories such as BHP's failed tilt at Rio Tinto, the collapsed takeover bid for Qantas, the demise and subsequent demerger of AMP, and some of Australia's biggest mergers, including the creation of the Westfield Group and the tie-up of Foster's and Southcorp.
Brooke Corte has a BA in Communications from the University of Technology, Sydney.
