Karina Frayter, most recently a field producer at CNBC Business News, has joined RF|Binder as managing director to drive media relations at the New York-based independent shop.
At CNBC, Frayter covered the stock market, IPOs, economy, banking, fintech and payments. She produced the “Where the Jobs Are” series and her digital documentary, “The Bitcoin Uprising,” earned an honorable mention by Cablex Program Awards.
