    I was brought into Barilla Japan - the leading food service import brand of pasta in Japan - with the primary objective of either taking them to a new distributor or taking the company independent. Following a thorough evaluation of the situation, I recommended that instead we create a spirit of partnership and cooperation with the distributor.

In a time of continued contraction in Japanese consumer spending, we increased sales by over 15% for two consecutive years.
