  Accenture’s CMI Yoshimitsu Kaji: The Future of Japan from the Perspective of a Businessman/Government Official

  

  In February 2014, Mr. Yoshimitsu Kaji took up a new position as Chief Marketing Innovator (CMI) at Accenture Japan Ltd. Before that, he had worked for Fuji Bank and an advertising company and completed an MBA program at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. After playing an active role in famous firms such as Coca-Cola (Japan) Co., Ltd., Time Warner Inc., Sony Pictures Entertainment (Japan) Inc., and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., he left his position at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. to become the Executive Director of the 2016 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics Bid Committee. Later, he became an international public relations councilor at the Prime Minister’s Official Residence, worked in Japanese- and foreign-capital groups, and has built a strong career in linking Japan to the world, both in government and private businesses.
  Currently an adviser at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), he is also the president of the Kellogg School of Management alumni club, Kellogg Club of Japan.
  With his current position as CMI as a starting point, we will ask Mr. Kaji his views and thoughts.
