Background
He joined Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation in April 1973. He served as a Director and head of the First Division from June 2002, a Director and head of the Fifth Division from June 2005, Managing Director and head of the Corporate Strategy Planning Division from June 2007, and Representative Director, Executive Vice President and head of the New Business Promotion Office from June 2008, becoming Representative Director and Executive Vice President in June 2011. He is a career employee who rose through the head office core, handling corporate planning and new businesses.
Selection
In June 2012 he succeeded Satoshi Miura as President. In the year before his appointment, the fiscal year ended March 2012, consolidated revenue was ¥10,507.3 billion and operating profit ¥1,239.3 billion. Overseas, listed subsidiary NTT DATA had launched a tender offer of about ¥286.0 billion for South Africa's Dimension Data in May 2010, with a listed subsidiary rather than the parent leading overseas expansion. His background in corporate planning and new businesses appears to have been valued.
Initiatives
Consolidated revenue rose from ¥10,507.3 billion in the fiscal year ended March 2012, the year before his appointment, to ¥11,782.1 billion in the FY ended March 2018, his final year, and operating profit grew from ¥1,239.3 billion to ¥1,755.6 billion. The overseas businesses remained split among listed subsidiaries, and the reorganization that gathered them into NTT, Inc. began in November 2018 under his successor Jun Sawada.
