Cal State East Bay grad Susanne Trimbath is setting the field of economics on fire.

As CEO and Chief Economist of STP Advisory Services, she has appeared on countless national television and radio programs, including the Emmy® Award nominated Bloomberg special report, Phantom Shares. She is also a contributing editor for NewGeography.

Most recently, Trimbath was featured in the financial film, "Stock Shock: The Short Selling of the American Dream," which documents the alleged massive short selling of Sirius XM radio stock. In the film, she explains in great detail the process of naked short selling and the impact failed trades have on shareholders and the American economy.   Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi interviewed her further for his detailed article on short-selling, “Wall Street's Naked Swindle.”

Trimbath served as a Technical Advisor to the California Economic Strategy Panel and was formerly Senior Research Economist at the Milken Institute and Senior Advisor on the Russian capital markets project for KPMG.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in business administration from CSUEB, Trimbath earned her MBA in Management and Ph.D. in Economics.  

Congrats on your accomplishments, Susanne!
