The Financial Times Group has announced that its Chief Executive Officer John Ridding has stepped down from his role. Ridding is parting ways with the organization after a stint of almost 20 years.
Ridding will remain with parent company Nikkei as a special adviser reporting to its chairman and group CEO Naotoshi Okada.
According to media reports, Ridding, who will step down on 30 June, said in a note to staff, “I feel privileged to have been CEO during a crucial period of the FT’s history and to have worked with such brilliant and committed colleagues to transform and grow our business.”
“As I step away, FT subscriptions and readership are at all-time highs, as are group revenues. Roula [Khalaf, editor] and her team are producing exceptional journalism, reinforcing our reputation for trust and authority at a crucial time for international news media,” he added.
