The Financial Times has promoted Rob Grimshaw to become its first head of global advertising strategy and operations.

Grimshaw will be responsible overseeing all aspects of the pink-sheet's global strategy across advertising for both online and print.

He will also continue to oversee the key accounts for the paper, which is part of his current position as head of client sales and key accounts.

Prior to joining the FT in 1998, Grimshaw worked at News International and Emap.

Ben Hughes, worldwide advertising director at the FT, said: "The FT works with advertisers across all sectors and across the world.

"The complexity of its multimedia portfolio is steadily increasing and Rob will be managing this development.

"He is a hugely talented member of the sales team and I know he will be a success in his new role."
