Gabriela Frías is a CNN journalist with more than two decades of experience covering business and global news at CNN. She currently hosts CNN Negocios, the flagship business program on CNN en Español.

She is recognized as a leader in business journalism in Latin America, interviewing world leaders, reporting on global financial issues, and covering high-profile events such as the G-20 and the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Frías joined CNN in Atlanta in 2000 as a producer and contributor for CNN en Español’s nightly business program. She subsequently became the host of her own personal finance show, En Efectivo, which launched in 2001 and aired for ten years. In late 2010, Frías brought her business journalism expertise to CNN en Español’s prime-time lineup, joining co-host Xavier Serbia for the launch of CNN Dinero. She later hosted Portafolio Global, a daily CNN en Español business program and Panorama Mundial, the network’s flagship newscast covering the most significant global events.

She has interviewed presidents, government ministers, and high-ranking financial and economic officials—including International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and former Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn (during the financial crisis)—as well as conducting an exclusive interview with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus.

Frías frequently contributes to economic education by moderating and participating in forums across the region. She also provides a Latin American perspective for sister networks CNN International and CNN US.

Previously, Frías worked as a business reporter for Reforma, one of Mexico’s leading
newspapers. In 1998, she held the dual role of co-anchor and journalist for Negocios México, a joint venture between Reforma and CNN en Español.

Frías graduated with honors from the Carlos Septién School of Journalism in Mexico City. She is fluent in Spanish, English, and French.
