Gutierrez is a senior White House correspondent for NBC News. He reports for all of the network's platforms, including TODAY, NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas, NBC News NOW, Telemundo and NBCNews.com.

In 2012, he started with NBC in Atlanta after anchoring and reporting for local television stations in West Virginia, Michigan, and Texas. He was a part of the NBC Nightly News team that earned an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University award in 2013.

While covering breaking news across the world, he reported on a slew of high-profile police shootings and was one of the first correspondents on the scene of the Pulse Nightclub massacre in Orlando. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Gutierrez hit the road to cover the Republican primaries. His reporting on 2017's Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was featured in “Powerless,” an NBC Nightly News film, which was one of the network’s most viewed digital documentaries of the year.

Later based in New York, he reported on the COVID-19 pandemic across the U.S. and was a lead network correspondent on the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

In addition to extensive coverage of immigration across the U.S. southern border, Gutierrez has reported on a range of international stories: political developments in Mexico, Cuba, and Venezuela; terrorist attacks in London, Paris, and Brussels; as well as natural disasters in Chile, Guatemala, Haiti, and Turkey. He also traveled to Ukraine in 2022 to cover the war.

Since 2023, he's been based in Washington, where he's reported daily on the Biden and Trump administrations. Beyond asking questions from the briefing room, he's recently covered President Trump's mass deportation operation across the country — from Boston to Chicago to Minneapolis — and he traveled to Colombia's border with Venezuela following the capture of Nicolas Maduro.

More recently in 2020 and 2021 he reported on the COVID-19 pandemic and was a lead network correspondent on the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. He went to Ukraine in 2022 to cover the war and in 2023 he travelled to Turkey to cover deadly earthquakes.
