Guy Adami, Managing Director

Guy Adami is a professional investor and noted media analyst. Guy launched his Wall Street career more than two decades ago with Drexel Burnham Lambert, trading in the New York Mercantile Exchange energy and metal pits. Almost immediately he was promoted 'upstairs' to trade precious metals, a position that saw him travel the world, from South America to South Africa and much of Europe. Following the purchase of Drexel's commodity group by American International Group, he was named head gold trader on the company's bullion desk, where he forged lasting relationships with legendary investors Sir James Goldsmith and Kerry Packer. In 1996, Guy joined Goldman Sachs' noted commodities group, J. Aron, as vice president, where he worked for Gary Cohn and Goldman's current chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein. Next he was asked to head up the industrial / basic materials group of Goldman's US equity division. In 2003 Guy left to become an executive director at CIBC World Markets, and it was there that CNBC reached out to him with a 'blackboard' idea for what is now 'Fast Money,' a leading nightly television program in financial media. On joining the OptionMonster Group in 2008, Guy again teamed up with fellow 'Fast Money' cast member Pete Najarian and older brother Jon ('DRJ'), a CNBC correspondent.
