In 2003, Faber won the Maxwell Award for best story on the cable industry for his work on "The Big Heist: How AOL Took Time Warner." Faber won the Deadline Club of New York’s 1997 Award for “Best Broadcast Business Story” for his breaking report of the now historic buyout of MCI Communications in November 1996. In 2003, he was nominated for a Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism for breaking the news of massive fraud at WorldCom.
Faber joined CNBC in 1993 after seven years at “Institutional Investor,” where he covered corporate finance and global equity markets, and launched “Emerging Markets Week”-a publication focusing on the world’s developing capital markets.
