Max Foster hosts the European morning show ‘CNN Today’ from London alongside Monita Rajpal.

Max joined CNN in 2005 as an anchor and correspondent. Since joining the London bureau, he rapidly got involved with a number of major news stories, including the death of Pope John Paul II and the British general election. Since then he has broken several stories including the collapse of the levees around New Orleans, the death of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and the outbreak of the 2005 Israel-Hezbollah conflict. He has reported from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, the scene of 7/7 bombings and from Paris for the French Presidential Elections.

Prior to joining CNN, Max was a business reporter for the BBC. In 2000, he reported for BBC World and Business Breakfast before being taken on by the BBC's flagship British morning news programme 'Breakfast' as their dedicated business correspondent. He covered a wide range of business, consumer and transport stories, including a high profile series of exposés on online banking security.

Max began his career with the BBC as a local radio reporter. At 24, he was transferred to London to be a business reporter and presenter for BBC World Service radio, where he covered the Asian Financial Crisis, the dot.com bubble and the Microsoft Trial for programmes including Newshour and The World Today. He fronted World Business Report and produced a well-received series from Tokyo on Japan's efforts to recover from the financial crisis.

Max is British but is conversant in Swedish. He studied a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at Cardiff University before completing a postgraduate diploma in broadcast journalism.
