Janan GaneshAssociate Editor and International Affairs Columnist for the Financial Times

Janan Ganesh is a distinguished journalist, author, and associate editor at the Financial Times, where his biweekly columns examine the shifting landscape of international politics. Based previously in Washington and Los Angeles as the publication's US politics columnist, he provided a unique vantage point on American power and its cultural influence. His career in political journalism also includes a significant tenure as a Westminster correspondent for The Economist, where he built a reputation for providing sharp, witty analysis of British governance and public affairs. His expertise is grounded in early experience as a research fellow at the think-tank Policy Exchange. During this period, he co-authored the award-winning paper Compassionate Conservatism with Jesse Norman, a text that defined the ideological framework of David Cameron’s modernised Conservative Party. He is also the author of the acclaimed biography George Osborne: The Austerity Chancellor, which details the career of one of the United Kingdom's most significant political figures. Beyond politics, he is a regular contributor to FT Weekend, offering commentary on broader cultural trends. As a frequent contributor to television, radio, and podcasts, Janan is highly sought after for his ability to untangle complex geopolitical developments. Audiences value his sessions for their clarity, sophisticated perspective, and his capacity to connect global policy shifts to the specific challenges facing modern organisations.
