Wikipedia Biography / Profile Background

Introduction :

  • BNN Anchor Kanwar lives by the motto, “Don’t let your failures define you, let them drive you.” This reflects her resilience and determination that has propelled her from a coffee-fetching intern to a respected anchor in the dynamic world of finance and technology.
  • Kanwar hails from Canada, a land consisting of a large proportion of Sikh-origin population.
  • Although very few details have been furnished about her childhood, she graduated in Management and Organisational Studies with a Bachelor’s degree and successfully completed her Master’s degree in Journalism for the Ryerson University of Canada.

Career, Income, Salary and Net Worth :

  • Kanwar was pursuing her degree in Management when she shifted career paths from Business School to Journalism. During that time, she wanted to write on social injustice and inequality, some of the most pressing social issues, when she graduated.
  • However, reality struck her when she realised that this was a very crowded and saturated field, because every other news channel and journalist wanted to cover societal issues and incidents which would pique people’s interest and set the TRPs soaring.
  • Kanwar discovered that fewer people wanted to report on finance and related matters, but she held this opportunity in doubt, as she was highly unsure of her aptitude in finance.
  • After much contemplation, she decided to venture into financial reporting, a field she soon came to love. According to her, she loves when the general interest is around a central bank decision because she loves to unravel the story behind the figures in the statements.
  • Kanwar recalls her journey in journalism as “unexpected and thrilling.” She began her journey at BNN (Business News Network) in 2010, starting from entry-level positions.
  • She rose up the ranks and currently is the host of BNN’s flagship morning show The Open. Through this show, she got an opportunity to discuss varied issues in the financial sector with top CEOs, political veterans, and large fund managers across the country.
  • At work, Amber follows a rigorous daily routine, dedicating mornings to reading economist notes, equity research, and trader commentary. Adopting an effective communication style she aims to make financial information accessible to a broad audience, while consciously avoiding business jargon in her talks.
  • In 2018, she was the MC for the 22nd Annual Sikh Centennial Gala.

Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :

  • Since June 2016, Amber is married to her husband, Stefan Coolican. The couple has three children – two daughters, Marlo and Darcy Emma (born in December 2019), and a third baby Maksim Saber Coolican who was born in mid-2021.
  • She also hosts a tech show called “The Disruptors.” She was one of the leading forces behind the broadcast of this show, as she observed a growth in the technological sector in Canada and was eager to cover every aspect of the field – from innovative ideas, and failed ventures to multi-billion entities. She finds a favorable position in the eyes of her viewers as her viewers love the way she addresses complex and highly technical matters in simpler terms.
  • A general presupposition is that financial reporting is mostly about technical details or bad news in investment arenas. Kanwar tries to change this convention.
  • She believes that although much of the news globally originated from what’s wrong with the world, business news is a sector where many insights revealed a story of victories and awe-inspiring inventions and innovations.
  • Amber regularly meets and converses with many people who had little money, but who have created an empire out of a unique idea. Interacting with such people has its own share of intriguing moments, the energy around such brilliant minds is energising.

Social Media :

  • Amber Kanwar is quite active on social media platforms. She can be reached on Twitter (now called X) at @amberkanwar and on Instagram at @amberkangaroo.
