【Message】

Prior to creating an international organisation and leading it as a Secretary General for 20 years, I have gained considerable professional experience having worked within the private sector, for Japanese and foreign governments and with international organisations. I would welcome the opportunity to draw upon my extensive experience and knowledge to help those students who wish to pursue an international career.
