Marta Tellado is the president and CEO of Consumer Reports, one of America's most trusted consumer protection brands. As the daughter of Cuban immigrants, she earned her Ph.D. in Political Science. Now she's set on protecting you from fraud and other scams through her new book 'Buyer Aware,” which is out now and comes at an interesting time when Big Tech is commodifying our private data and inflation is emptying out our pockets. So how do we fight back? Marta gives us some actionable and meaningful suggestions.
In this interview with Marta Tellado, the CEO of Consumer Reports, we discuss how she became one of the few Latina CEOs in the country, how her Cuban heritage shaped her democratic ideals, and how her new book, ‘Buyer Aware: Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace,’ acts as a guide for consumers to reclaim their power against shady business practices.
