Joshua Ogawa is the Head of AI and Visual Strategy at Nikkei, and a member of the Reuters Institute's Advisory Board, which he joined in 2025.

Before his current role, Joshua was the general manager, Nikkei-FT Partnership at Nikkei Europe, where he was in charge of day-to-day collaboration between Nikkei and the Financial Times, which the Japanese news organisation acquired in 2015. He ensured that the global media alliance is achieving its strategic goals and that there is open communication between London and Tokyo, liaising with editorial and commercial stakeholders on both sides.

Prior to taking on that role in 2018, he spent over 20 years in the Nikkei newsroom as a media and technology reporter including 7-year deployment in the US, first as a Chief Correspondent in New York and later as Silicon Valley Bureau Chief.

During his Visiting Fellowship at the Reuters Institute in 2021, he looked at ways to build a successful media partnership through merger and acquisition, and how to manage change and culture over time.
