Pisani’s last day on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange will be on May 9.
Dan Colarusso, senior vice president of CNBC Business News, wrote in a memo to staffers, “Bob has been more than just a colleague over the last three decades – he’s been a constant presence, a trusted voice and a defining figure in our coverage. He has been a mainstay on CNBC and a true Wall Street institution, bringing passion, sharp analysis and a deep understanding of the markets that have earned him the respect of his peers and viewers alike.”
CNBC is in the midst of preparing for a spinoff from parent Comcast later this year.
Pisani has been with CNBC since 1990, and became on-air stocks editor in 1997. He is the author of Shut Up and Keep Talking: Lessons on Life and Investing from the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
