Kayla Tausche, a prominent American broadcast journalist, was born on July 17, 1986, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She graduated in 2004 from Greater Atlanta Christian School in Georgia before earning her Bachelor’s degree in Business Journalism and International Politics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2008. During her college years, she was also a member of the university’s cheerleading team.
After completing her studies, Tausche began her journalism career overseas at the Brussels bureau of the Associated Press. She later worked for Bloomberg L.P., focusing on consumer and retail news, and subsequently joined DealReporter, a unit of Mergermarket. During this period, she appeared frequently as a guest on CNBC and CNBC World to provide insights into mergers and acquisitions.
In 2011, Kayla Tausche joined CNBC as a general assignment reporter, covering corporate news, mergers and acquisitions, and financial markets. Her reporting was featured across CNBC's business day programming. In addition to her regular CNBC appearances, she contributed segments to MSNBC, NBC’s Today, Weekend Today, and NBC Nightly News, further establishing her presence on network television.
Tausche gained recognition for her in-depth financial analysis and reporting on high-profile stories, including the News Corporation phone hacking scandal, Facebook’s IPO filing, and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Despite some earlier reporting inconsistencies, Tausche did not cover the 1997 British handover of Hong Kong to China, as that event occurred during her childhood. Comparisons to journalists such as Erin Burnett have reflected her reputation for sharp business journalism.
She currently co-hosts CNBC's Squawk on the Street and has also appeared on Power Lunch, a show that earned praise for its coverage of real-time market activities. While her exact net worth remains private, industry insiders indicate it is likely in the mid-to-high six figures, reflecting her growing stature. Her salary has seen consistent growth in line with her expanding role at the network.
Kayla Tausche is an advocate for gender equality and has actively supported causes related to women's rights and equal opportunities. She has participated in awareness campaigns and public events promoting the fair treatment of underprivileged women. Tausche believes that individuals should not be confined by traditional gender roles and frequently uses her platform to champion inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.
She stands firmly against any form of gender-based abuse and has spoken publicly about the importance of empowering women across industries.
Kayla Tausche is married to Jeffrey Izant, her college sweetheart. The couple wed at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta, celebrating their union with a large ceremony attended by colleagues and close friends. Tausche chose to retain her maiden name professionally, a common decision among public figures to preserve consistency in career branding.
While the couple does not yet have children, Tausche has expressed enthusiasm about starting a family in the future, stating her desire to have at least two children. Her husband shares her excitement and support for this next chapter.
In her downtime, Kayla enjoys running. She has participated in marathons in the past and says that the dynamic nature of running appeals to her more than static exercise routines. In earlier years, she would take the ferry to Governors Island for long-distance runs. Due to her demanding schedule today, she now prefers running closer to home, using locations such as Central Park or the Hudson River's West Side Highway path.
Her passion for running reflects a disciplined, goal-oriented personality, traits also evident in her journalism career.
