In 2019, at the age of 41, I became the third president. Some people may have been surprised at how young I am, but the founder of Meisei believes that "management of the company should be shouldered by young generation who are sensitive to the trends of the times," and this is a very natural practice at Meisei. Since assuming office, my primary focus has been on dialogue with employees in order to create a strong company and ensure that employees enjoy their work. What are the employees working in the field and are thinking to do their best? The most important job of the president is to support the employees and construction sites that create and provide value. Instead of confining myself in the president's office, I actively have gone out of comfort zone and talked with employees and colleagues. I have been communicating frequently about the company's policies and the future goal of the company. I came to believe it was necessary to communicate these policies verbally, as well as in an official forum such as this, both inside and outside the company, and so I have organized them into a new mission statement.

I spun the words in the context of people, hoping that they would be conveyed to the hearts of each and every one of them. We are in the niche business of telecommunications infrastructure engineering, so unfortunately, we don't have people who say, "I've wanted to be in this business since I was a little kid”. But the more you know, the more interesting the work becomes. Future possibilities are also expanding rapidly. I myself was born to a fisherman’s family in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a rural area that has nothing to do with IT. I also studied marine science as an undergraduate student in university. When I went home to my parents', my father and brother were talking about fishing over drinks, and it was interesting and strangely enough, that there was a connection between the fishing industry and the work at Meisei. Perhaps it is because the common denominator is that they are consistent in doing everything for which they are responsible, and that they have the habit of being creative in their work processes and ingenuity in order to do so. Working 8 hours a day means that one third of my day is spent at work. I want to enjoy it because I have to. Together with my colleagues, I want to create a good job, a good company, and a good life.

Representative Director and CEO,
Meisei Correspondence Co.
