Bio

Max Keiser is an American-Salvadoran broadcaster and filmmaker. He produced films for Al Jazeera's People & Power and hosted the Keiser Report, a financial program on RT, from September 2009 to February 2022, when he and his wife and co-host Stacy Herbert resigned from the network.[1]

He told The Wall Street Journal in March 2023 that he served as a senior adviser to President Nayib Bukele, a role the paper said people familiar with the matter confirmed. El País reported that Keiser and Herbert had been in charge of El Salvador's National Bitcoin Office since the end of 2022.[2][3]
