Host Bio

Donny Deutsch was the host of CNBC's show on hiatus, "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch," featuring hot topics, trendy talk and the big issues of the day.

As former Chairman of Deutsch Inc., he implemented his "leaner, meaner, faster, smarter" philosophy to transform a small advertising business into one of the nation’s top 10 agencies. The $2.8 billion full-service agency has provided prestigious clients such as GM, Johnson & Johnson, DirecTV, Novartis Worldwide, and IKEA with strategic marketing plans.

In 2005, Harper Collins published Donny’s business motivation book, "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt," based on his career experiences. A graduate of Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Deutsch now serves on two prestigious boards: UPenn’s School of Social Work’s Executive Committee and the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s Foundation’s Board of Directors.
