Sales Department /
Regional Management Office No. 2 KS

There are many opportunities for overseas business trips and overseas postings from a young age

Please tell me your job duties.

Regional Management Office No. 2 is primarily responsible for overseas sales of commercial vehicles to emerging markets. Currently, I am in charge of Africa, where I manage projects in various countries and oversee the operations of our affiliated companies located there.

What do you like about Isuzu? What are its charms?

Isuzu has expanded into countries all over the world, and wherever I go, I can feel that my company is contributing to "transporting people." There are many opportunities for overseas business trips and overseas postings, even at a young age, and the company has a culture that gives opportunities to motivated employees, so I think it is a very rewarding job.

When do you feel a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment in your work? What is interesting about your current job?

As an overseas salesperson, the moment I feel the greatest sense of accomplishment is seeing the vehicles I worked on running in the local area. I was previously stationed in South Africa and Dubai, and during that time I was involved in setting up the African sales department within the regional headquarters. I believe that being able to build something from scratch, including building organizational functions and hiring local staff, was a valuable experience.

Please tell us how you feel Isuzu has changed recently and what you yourself are trying to change.

I feel that the introduction of business casual has led to a more diverse range of attire in the workplace. I too would like to get rid of the preconceived notion that suits are necessary and instead try to dress appropriately for the occasion.

Tell us your "I Do" statement*.

*いすゞを形成する従業員一人ひとりが ISUZU ID を自分ごととして捉え、自らの行動を変える具体的な宣言。

 

My "I Do declaration is "leading by example." This is because, when moving things forward, people won't follow unless you show it through actions, not just words. By setting an example, I gain recognition for my value from others and build trust. I believe this is important not only within my own organization but also with our counterparts overseas.

What actions will you take to achieve the four ISUZU ID No. 1s?

To achieve "No. 1 in customer satisfaction," we will understand market needs and customer requests based on the 3-gen principle, and promote improvement activities aimed at resolving issues while building cooperative relationships within Isuzu and with overseas dealerships.

Regarding ISUZZ ID's core value of "Drive to Change," how is it currently contributing to this?

I believe that change leads to personal and organizational growth. Seeking opportunities for change, I volunteered to lead a team activity that was started in International Sales Division two years ago. Through this new activity of promoting local after-sales service improvements together with team members from different departments and sales companies, I have been able to contribute to the growth of not only myself, but also my team members and local sales companies.

What kind of person would you recommend Isuzu to?

If you want to work globally and achieve something on your own, come to Isuzu!
