When AVNET identified Unidux as an organization that could further their expansion into the Japanese market, they hand-selected me to lead the integration of the Japanese worker into their Western business management structure. As an expert in Japanese culture, I facilitated the transition process and was part of the Japan Executive Team that defined the company’s Japan strategy for this $350M business with 230 personnel.Key Leadership Contributions:☑ One of the first executive tasks I took on was a business performance analysis in order to boost profitability. I led the team that identified opportunities to control costs and reduced expenses in ways that aligned with the Japanese culture. Instead of simply reducing the workforce, which would have alienated the workers, we found creative ways to positively impact the bottom-line by reallocating resources.☑ Avnet already had strong relationships with U.S. suppliers so I created and executed the strategy for leveraging these relationships. Through innovative client solutions we were able to secure Japanese territory distribution rights and increase our revenues.
