Career

Finance and journalism

Ahuja began her finance career at the age of 17 when she interned at Citigroup in 2002 as a credit risk analyst. After ten months, Ahuja became a full-time employee. She remained at Citigroup for nearly four years before moving to Merrill Lynch as a global economics and equity research intern. She later became one of The Wall Street Journal's youngest reporters, working on their Money & Investing team.[2][3]

Ahuja joined CNBC in 2008, and the following year she was awarded the network's Enterprise Award for her coverage of the hedge fund industry.[4] Ahuja's work on CNBC's Squawk Box includes the first on-air appearance made by Ray Dalio, Founder and CIO of the world's largest hedge fund Bridgewater Associates and David Tepper—hedge fund manager and the founder of Appaloosa Management, coverage of David Einhorn's warning call before the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and John Paulson's communication to investors following an SEC investigation into the Goldman Sachs "Abacus" deals.[3] She has also covered the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In December 2012, Ahuja and CNBC colleague, Kate Kelly, made the first report that Bill Ackman, manager of Pershing Square Capital Management, had a short position on Herbalife, a multi-level marketing company that sells health care products, and considered their business model to be a pyramid scheme.[5][6]

Events

Ahuja co-founded and created CNBC's Delivering Alpha conference, a hedge fund summit launched in conjunction with Institutional Investor.[7] She produces events for Harvard Business School's U.S. Competitiveness Project and quarterly shows at the United States Department of Labor with Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve.[8] Ahuja served as the master of ceremonies at the Wharton Economic Summit held at Lincoln Center in New York City March 2013.[9]

Ahuja also co-founded CNBC's popular "Disruptors" series initiative focusing on tech startups in the Valley and beyond. She interviewed tech legend Marc Andreessen for Andreessen Horowitz's inaugural Capital Summit[10] at Cavallo Point September 2015.

Awards

In October 2012 the South Asian Journalists Association awarded Ahuja and Devin Banerjee of Bloomberg News grants to attend seminars for business journalists at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.[11]

The Alpha Masters

Ahuja's book, The Alpha Masters: Unlocking the Genius of the World's Top Hedge Funds was published by John Wiley & Sons in May 2012.
