UCSB Arts & Lectures presents Andrew Ross Sorkin, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 1 at UCSB Campbell Hall.

Dubbed “The Oracle” for his insights into business and policy, “Too Big to Fail” author and “Billions” co-creator, Sorkin has been a leading voice about Wall Street and corporate America.

At his DealBook Summit in December, Sorkin conducted long-form interviews with newsmakers ranging from Jerome Powell and Jeff Bezos to Prince Harry and Alex Cooper.

He comes to Santa Barbara fresh from the World Economic Forum in Davos to share incisive observations based on his access to the most influential figures shaping the world today.

Sorkin is an award-winning journalist for The New York Times and a co-anchor of CNBC’s morning program “Squawk Box.”

He is also the founder and editor-at-large of DealBook, an online daily financial report published by The New York Times that he started in 2001.

Sorkin’s “Too Big to Fail: How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System – and Themselves” (Viking, 2009) won the 2010 Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book. The book chronicles the events of the 2008 financial crisis.

It was adapted as a movie for HBO Films in 2011 with Sorkin as a co-producer; it went on to be nominated for 11 Emmy Awards.

Sorkin is known for his incisive and nuanced long-form conversations with the biggest newsmakers in the world from Elon Musk to Lebron James to Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton. In 2022, he won the Emmy award for “Outstanding Live Interview.”

As a leading voice about Wall Street and corporate America, Sorkin is a frequent guest on national television and radio programs, as well as a lecturer at universities across the country.

He is co-chair of the New York Public Library’s Business Leadership Council and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Sorkin began writing for The New York Times in 1995 under unusual circumstances: he hadn’t yet graduated from high school. Sorkin is now a graduate of Cornell University.

Andrew Ross Sorkin is presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures in association with the UCSB Economic Forecast Project.

Tickets to see Sorkin are $22.50-$37.50 general admission; free to UCSB students with current student ID.
