A 24-year veteran of the FT, Khalaf most recently served as deputy editor—a post she has held since 2016—and previously as foreign editor and Middle East editor, among other roles. “I am delighted that Roula Khalaf has agreed to take the position of editor," said Tsuneo Kita, chairman of the Japanese newspaper publisher Nikkei, which acquired the FT in 2015. "I have full confidence that she will continue the FT’s mission to deliver quality journalism without fear and without favor, inspire and lead a team of the most talented journalists and pursue the FT’s new agenda covering business, finance, economics and world affairs." Khalaf succeeds longtime head editor Lionel Barber, who announced he's stepping down after 14 years in that role and 34 with the outlet altogether.
