I’m really happy to be here, and I would like to thank _____ for giving me the opportunity to work here.

My name’s Setsu and for the last 10 years I have been living in both Japan & China working in a consulting company and my experience is mostly working as a trainer teaching leadership, management and motivation to Japanese businesses. I have a masters in Management from Sophia University.

I love to travel and I have travelled to several countries… recently to Scandinavia, where I visited Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway, which was full of nature and really an amazing experience.

I’m a huge coffee drinker, in particular Connor beans which are from Hawaii, and I love black coffee with a touch of milk.

I’m definitely a cat person, and I’m really into Hello Kitty and real cats, but unfortunately I don’t have a cat of my own.

Rest assured I will do the best job I can do and use all of my experience to help the company and my team as much as possible.
Thank you!

I will be a manager.
