Boss babe Madison - 'I MADE MY OWN DREAM JOB!'

Describing financial journalist Madison Reidy as “a mile a minute” might be a bit of an understatement. She’s a woman with unshakable drive and a constant smile, and when she’s not working on her online TV series Markets With Madison, you almost need subtitles to keep up with her.

“My friends will tell you that I actually speak quicker,” she grins. “I’m zero to 100!”

Life moves fast for the star presenter, who has made waves with her twice-weekly NZME finance shows – as she says, she’s always been in a hurry, even as a kid when she knew she’d be a journalist.

“Although I didn’t think it would be in finance – I actually failed Year 12 maths,” laughs Madison, 28. “It was kind of a shame that when I was growing up, I didn’t know that business and markets could be so interesting. 

“When I did learn about them, I wanted other people to know how engaging they actually are. It’s like reality TV – there are genuinely that many dramatic stories and trillions of dollars at stake. It doesn’t get better than that!”

After stints working in both TV and print, Madison – whose partner is Kiwi Paralympic gold medal sprinter Liam Malone, 29 – left journalism for a few years after feeling burnt out from covering the pandemic.
