Collaborative efforts to create an ideal future
My responsibility as Chief Visionary Officer of the AMITA Group includes leading the Group's business development efforts to enhance its longer-term enterprise value. I am also responsible for nurturing and developing relationships with a wide range of current and future stakeholders.
In November 2022, AMITA announced its initiative and commitment to creating an ecosystem society by 2030. We define an ecosystem society as one in which an abundance of people-to-people and people-to-nature relationships makes more of a difference than financial and material prosperity.
In pursuit of such an ideal future, I am determined to devise a forward-looking and industry-leading corporate strategy for the Group to initiate business ventures meant to drive social innovation.

As Chief Integrated Operations Officer, I am responsible for overseeing the Group's day-to-day business operations; developing the Group's quantitative growth strategy; and engaging with investors, analysts, and financial institutions.
In March 2022, the AMITA Group announced its commitment to pursuing stakeholder-centric business management, making all its Directors responsible for increasing its enterprise value, which represents the sum of the value that the Group's operations provide to all its stakeholders.
It is, therefore, our duty to achieve an ecosystem society in which people's relationships with others and with nature will be enhanced in proportion to economic development.
I intend to share the Group's quantitative and detailed growth strategy with stakeholders, ensure its effective implementation across the Group, and play my part in helping achieve the Group's vision.

My responsibility as Chief Engagement and Partnerships Officer includes cultivating a can-do culture throughout the organization, and initiating and maintaining deep engagement with internal and external stakeholders.
A corporate culture that encourages employees to take on challenges to create value and broad partnerships with businesses, municipalities, NPOs, and universities are the two key drivers for accelerating the pace of developing markets and establishing new businesses. That will take us closer to achieving our vision of creating an ecosystem society.
My role is to ensure that the Group will continually increase its usable corporate resources. To this end, I intend to establish an ecosystem of cross-disciplinary relationships with partners ready to give blessing to the Group's vision and its enterprise-level endeavor.

As Chief Strategy Officer, I am responsible for devising the Group's corporate management strategy and developing new business ventures.
The social scheme that for years had been the backbone of our everyday lives and relationship-building has lost its effectiveness in coping with fast-paced social change and climate change. It is time to revamp our common set of values and social structure.
CSO's job is to keep abreast of these social trends and provide the right commercial solutions to social needs so that the Group can create strategic business models that have a good chance of evolving into its core business lines down the road. I am ready to start presenting a vision of the future filled with hope and aspirations and to aggressively pursue new business opportunities perfectly in line with the Group's stated commitment to becoming a future-design company.

My primary responsibility as Chief Growth Officer is to develop and implement a cross-divisional growth strategy for the Group.
The AMITA Group's growth driver has been identifying unmet social needs before anyone else does--rather than going after tangible market needs--and investing aggressively in designing and providing commercial solutions to those needs.
While this approach to investing in a blue ocean business model gives us a competitive advantage, it takes time to turn it into a profitable business model. My job is to look beyond what is going on around us today and present short- and long-term road maps that help keep the Group on a solid growth path.

in which people and nature live close together in harmony
My life-long aspiration is to create an inclusive society in which people are connected with each other and with nature, and pass it along to future generations. I have spent my time and energy in wide-ranging grass-roots activities to promote environmental stewardship, women's empowerment, and community development, as well as promoting finance to be spent for the benefit of others and future generations. I also have years of experience in coordinating and facilitating dialogues and workshops in which people of diverse backgrounds voice and exchange opinions. My responsibilities in the AMITA Group include leveraging all these experiences to help develop an inclusive society that respects, encourages, and integrates perspectives of women and the public at large.
