Maneet Ahuja is a Senior Editor and Founder & Editor-at-Large of Iconoclast at Forbes, where she covers the intersection of Wall Street, billionaires & entrepreneurial capitalism.

Maneet holds the unique distinction of being the only journalist at Forbes to also be an alumnus of the celebrated Forbes Under 30 list for media. She has interviewed some of the world’s most powerful and influential leaders ranging from U.S. President Bill Clinton to policymakers like long-standing former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan to financial titans and business leaders like JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and former Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Before joining Forbes, Maneet was awarded the prestigious Knight-Bagehot Fellowship at Columbia Journalism School and had over a decade-long tenure at CNBC, where she worked on major stories such as Lehman Brothers’ collapse during the financial crisis and investigations into Herbalife. While at CNBC, she also co-founded Delivering Alpha, the network’s flagship annual Wall Street summit and worked on Squawk Box where she launched coverage on hedge funds and alternatives. Prior to CNBC, she was a part of the Wall Street Journal’s Money & Investing team and began her career on Wall Street at the age of seventeen working at Citigroup—which is where she earned the nickname “Wall Street Maneet.”

She was also the host of Spotify’s special-edition podcast Megatrends (Gimlet media, 2019) and author of The Alpha Masters: Inside the Genius of the World’s Top Hedge Funds, which has been published in five languages and sold over 30,000 copies.
