Dennis Kneale, principal at Dennis Kneale Media, is an independent journalist and media-strategy consultant.

He focuses on technology, media and entertainment, health care and science, and Wall Street and private equity.

Kneale spent six years as an anchor and senior correspondent at CNBC and Fox Business Network and, before that, nine years as managing editor of Forbes magazine (1998-2007).

He began his career at the Wall Street Journal, where he rose to the post of senior editor.

In 2009, while anchoring a nightly post-meltdown show on CNBC, Kneale accurately called the end of the Great Recession and began urging investors to buy stocks one month after what turned out to be the market bottom.

At Fox, he was a frequent contributor to Greta Van Susteren's "On the Record" and "Forbes on Fox," and he created "What's Bugging Me," a twice-weekly rant.
