John Waples

Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting

John Waples is the senior managing director and head of UK strategic communications at global business advisory firm FTI Consulting. Waples leads a team of 200 at the firm’s London office, where his clients include SABMiller, Virgin Money, KPMG and Informa. Waples worked in journalism for 25 years and joined FTI in 2010 from The Sunday Times, where he had been for 16 of those, latterly as business editor. He won numerous awards as a journalist, and was twice shortlisted for the UK Press Gazette Business Journalist of the Year Award. As well as fuelling his appetite for the theatre of business, Waples’ move from journalism to comms was partly prompted by a desire to get his weekends back after he ‘ran out of people to play golf with on Mondays’.
