Biography

Early life

Quick grew up in Indiana, Ohio, Texas, and Oklahoma as her geologist father and her family followed "booms" in oil production. The family ultimately settled in Medford, New Jersey. She served as the site's International News Editor, overseeing foreign affairs coverage. She was a co-moderator of the October 28, 2015, Republican presidential debate.

Over the course of her career, Quick has interviewed some of the world's most influential investors and financial power brokers, including among others: Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Alan Greenspan, T. Boone Pickens, Jamie Dimon, and Charlie Munger. In October 2016, Quick gave birth to a daughter.

In January 2026, Quick went public with her daughter's diagnosis of SYNGAP1-related intellectual disability.  While Quick's daughter was diagnosed just before her third birthday, Quick only decided to speak publicly about her daughter's condition to raise awareness of over 10,000 rare diseases and to connect families facing similar journeys who often feel isolated. Her experience inspired the launch of CNBC Cures, a multi-platform initiative aimed at building community, increasing visibility of rare diseases, and advocating for improved treatments and support for affected individuals and their families.

Quick lives in New Jersey with her husband, their children, and his two daughters.
