Betty W. Liu () holds the position of Executive Vice Chairman at the New York Stock Exchange and serves as Chief Experience Officer at Intercontinental Exchange. Her association with NYSE Group began after ICE acquired Radiate, the educational technology company she established. Liu's background includes work as a business journalist and news anchor for Bloomberg Television, where she conducted interviews with prominent figures such as Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, and Arianna Huffington.

She was the founder and CEO of Radiate, an ed-tech startup based in New York City.

Early life

Originally from Hong Kong, Liu relocated to the United States at the age of three and grew up in Philadelphia. She completed her secondary education at Central High School.

Education

In 1995, Liu earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Pennsylvania.

Career

Liu's career in financial journalism began as a regional correspondent based in Hong Kong and as the youngest Taiwan Bureau Chief for Dow Jones Newswires. She later took on the role of Atlanta Bureau Chief for the Financial Times, where she reported on key executives including Douglas Daft, Bob Nardelli, and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.

She returned to Asia to work as an anchor for CNBC Asia, covering markets across Greater China on shows such as Squawk Box. Additionally, she contributed articles to The Wall Street Journal and Far Eastern Economic Review.

Between 2007 and 2018, Liu was a prominent figure at Bloomberg Television, hosting "In the Loop with Betty Liu" until 2015, followed by "Market Movers" and "Daybreak Asia" from New York City. She also held the title of Editor-at-Large at Bloomberg and presented "In the Loop, At the Half" on Bloomberg Radio.

In 2017, Liu launched RadiateInc.com, a subscription-based platform delivering concise business lessons from top CEOs. That same year, she was appointed Media Entrepreneur in Residence at High Point University.

Radiate Inc became part of Intercontinental Exchange in 2018, coinciding with Liu’s appointment as Executive Vice Chairman of ICE.

In 2021, she introduced D and Z Media Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) focused on investments within the subscription economy.

Awards

Liu was honored with a Dow Jones Newswires Award in 1997 for her reporting on the Asian financial crisis.

Her coverage of major Southern Fortune 500 corporations such as Coca-Cola, Home Depot, UPS, and FedEx earned her recognition on TJFR's list of "Top 30 business journalists under 30" for three consecutive years (2000–2002).

On October 27, 2011, she became the first female and Asian inductee into Central High School’s Alumni Hall of Fame.

In 2012, Bloomberg TV incorrectly identified Liu as "Pulitzer Prize-nominated." The network acknowledged this mistake and amended their promotional materials. This inaccurate claim also appeared in her biography, Age Smart: Discovering the Fountain of Youth at Midlife and Beyond.

Personal life

Liu has been married twice: initially to Ohio neurologist Benjamin L. Walter (married in 2002, divorced in 2006), followed by Australian media executive William Browning; their marriage ended in divorce in 2012.

She is mother to twins Dylan and Zachary, born in 2004. The family lives in Millburn, New Jersey.

Liu is proficient in Mandarin and has conversational skills in Cantonese.
