K.S.  Regional Management Office No.2 / Sales Division

Isuzu offers early-career opportunities for overseas business trips and assignments
Tell us about your job?

The Regional Management Office No. 2 is a department mainly in charge of the overseas sales of commercial vehicles for emerging markets. I'm currently in charge of Africa, and my role is to manage projects in various countries and the businesses of local affiliates.

What do you like about Isuzu?

Isuzu has expanded globally, and you can see that our company is addressing transportation needs worldwide. Isuzu offers early-career opportunities for overseas business trips and assignments, and encourages motivated employees, making it a rewarding place to work.

When do you feel a sense of job satisfaction? What do you find interesting about your job?

Seeing vehicles that I was involved with as a member of overseas sales team being driven on the roads gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
Furthermore, when I was previously assigned to South Africa and Dubai, I was engaged in establishing the Africa Sales Department within the regional management company. Creating something new from scratch, from establishing the organizational functions to employing local staff, was a valuable experience.

How has Isuzu changed and how are you trying to change?

I feel that the introduction of business casual attire is diversifying clothing in the workplace.
I, too, hope to let go of the preconception that we must wear suits and choose the clothes that fit the occasion.

Please tell us about your "I Do Declaration."

Each and every employee is working to fulfill the ideals of ISUZU ID and change behavior as part of their own "I Do Declaration."

My I Do Declaration is "walking the talk."
People won't follow unless leaders demonstrate with actions, not just words. I have been trying to build relationships based on trust by setting a good example. I believe this is important not only within one's own organization but also when interacting with our counterparts overseas.

What actions will you take to be No.1 in one of the four areas outlined in ISUZU ID?

In order to achieve No.1 in Customer Satisfaction, I will identify customer requests and market needs through an approach based on the Three Reality Principle (actual sites, actual goods, and actual situation), fostering cooperation with Isuzu's global sales companies and lead initiatives to improve problem-solving.

"Drive to Change" is a central element of ISUZU ID's core value. How are you driving change?

I believe change leads to personal and organizational growth.
Seeking an opportunity for change, I raised my hand to lead a team initiative launched by the Overseas Sales Division the year before last. This new initiative involves working with sales companies and different departments to drive local after-sales improvements. This has tied into not only personal growth but also growth for team members and local sales companies.
