I am 38 years old and I am responsible for the international purchasing of marine products (prawns) for a frozen food company. I travel abroad on business 5 to 6 times a year for the purpose of negotiation and quality control. I am happy with my current position, since it was my dream to engage in international business.
Yasushi Shimizu
April 2008 Entrant
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited
MPDRAP Project Leader, Product Planning, Strategic Product Planning Department
Self-introduction
I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 25 years, 17 years of which have been in international business. My international career has been in a variety of fields including licensing, global marketing, M&A and product portfolio management. For me, the most attractive feature of the pharmaceutical industry is that you can experience the creation of something from nothing, and in developing effective medicines you contribute to society by helping patients, their families and doctors.

Cosmo Trade & Service Co. Ltd.
Manager
Self-introduction
I'm Toshiaki Hashimoto, a 52-year-old director of a listed oil company's subsidiary. Due to my lack of confidence in English I ended up taking the easy route and worked in domestic sales for a long time, although I had always had a strong interest in international business.

Maiko Tanaka
April 2008 Entrant
Self-introduction
Since completing my graduate studies in pharmacy 7 years ago, I have worked for a pharmaceutical company as an R&D specialist. I focus mainly on experiments and rarely use English at work, except when reading research papers. During university when I went to the US for a month as an exchange student, I strongly wanted to be able to express my feelings more clearly in English.
