About Leo Lewis
Leo Lewis is the Financial Times’ Tokyo bureau chief. Until the August 2024 market turmoil, he wrote award-winning columns and features as Asia Business Editor; and was previously the FT’s Tokyo correspondent, covering financial markets, investment, banking, and a broad sweep of Japanese industry.
In today’s volatile environment, being ahead of the curve matters.
At the Financial Times, our journalists are constantly scanning the world for signals that are worth your attention.
In the first episode, Leo reveals how he stays attuned to readers’ needs—by constantly engaging in conversations with experts and opinion leaders.
Business intelligence doesn’t just fall from a tree.
Our journalists go straight to the source, and this boots-on-the-ground approach is what gives FT reporting its edge, and why global decision-makers rely on us for insight they can’t get anywhere else.
In the second episode, we follow Leo as he goes into the field to gather information for a developing story.
With so much information—and misinformation—available, discerning what’s credible is more critical than ever. The FT delivers clarity, not noise.
This is ensured by the strict Editorial Code that all FT journalists abide by.
In the third episode, Leo talks us through how the FT helps you cut through the noise by breaking down even the most complicated of subject matters.
What happens in Japan doesn’t stay in Japan.
At the FT, we connect the local to the global, because decisions made in one corner of the world affect business everywhere.
In the final episode, Leo reflects on what it means to write for a global audience and how the FT helps leaders see the big picture from every angle.
