Andrea Sanke

Andrea Sanke is a CNN news and business anchor and correspondent based in London.

Before joining CNN in July 2004, Sanke was based in Berlin where she worked for Germany’s international news channel, Deutsche Welle, hosting and writing for the weekly business news magazine ‘Made In Germany’ and ‘Journal’, the live bi-hourly international newscast. In this capacity she interviewed key members of the European financial community including European Central Bank President, Jean Claude Trichet, now retired Bank of England Governor Sir Edward George, as well as the finance ministers and leaders of several eastern European countries.

Prior to moving to Berlin, Andrea spent two years as a midday news anchor and reporter for Chicago’s ABC Radio affiliate, Newstalk 89.

From 1996 to 1997, Sanke lived in Bogota, Colombia, where she reported for Caracol TV’s national morning news programme, covering social issues ranging from the plight of former Colombian guerrillas re-entering civilian society, to social workers struggling to assist the poor in Bogota’s most violent neighbourhood.

During the past nine years, Sanke has lived and worked in five different countries in varying journalistic capacities. She's also worked as a volunteer for charity organization Task Brasil, caring for abandoned and socially disadvantaged children in Rio de Janeiro

Sanke holds a Bachelor of Journalism in Broadcast News and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from the University of Missouri at Columbia and also studied liberal arts at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador, as well as the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Bogota, Colombia.

Originally from Chicago, Illinois, USA, she speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese as well as German and Italian.
