Yoon's contributions to CNN's "Road to Recovery" coverage range from interviews with business heavy-hitters such as Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, famed commodities investor Jim Rogers, former Citigroup chairman Chuck Prince and General Motors ex-CEO Rick Wagoner to tongue-and-cheek reports on how to snare a millionaire to overcome tough economic times.
