Ms. Katsurayama received a BA in human development from Nagoya University and holds an MBA and Master of Sports Administration from Ohio University.

Ms. Tomoko Katsurayama worked for Nike Japan, Amazon Japan, and a consulting company before joining GLOBIS.

At GLOBIS, she is involved in research and program development in the areas of management strategy and marketing, as well as launching and managing world conferences such as G1 Global. Currently, based in Southeast Asia such as Singapore and Thailand, she promotes human resource development business.

Based on her own overseas experience, she said, “Experiencing diverse values in a different culture is an opportunity to create new innovations. I would like to see more businesspeople who are active in the world by putting themselves in different cultures” .

■Words to treasure
My favorite words are Mr. Peter Drucker’s “A person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weakness.” and Mr. Eichi Shibusawa’s “Be meticulous and bold”.

We tend to look at our weaknesses, but even if we think about our weaknesses, we won’t make any progress. If so, I believe that if you recognize your own strengths, refine them, and have the strength to make a breakthrough, you will be able to lead an interesting life.
At first glance, Mr. Eichi Shibusawa’s words may seem to contradict “meticulous” and “bold”, but I believe that small things and meticulous things are completely different things.
As it is said that God is in the details, be prepared and bold and determined. In their words, I feel the dynamism that I want to make use of in my own life.
