Good afternoon, my name is Takahito Tokita. I was just introduced by President Tanaka and would now like to take a moment to introduce myself to you all. I joined the company in April 1988. Since joining the company, I have been working in the SI solutions division and have mostly been in charge of customers in the financial sector. Until 2005, I was primarily involved in large-scale system development, including projects to reconstruct mission-critical systems for several major life insurance companies. I had the opportunity to be involved in projects that at the time were undergoing immense technological change, namely in platforms such as mainframes, UNIX servers, Windows servers, and the internet. The industry now is also witnessing changes, but I believe that I can make use of the experiences I had at that time. (...) In today’s meeting of the Board of Directors, we reached a decision regarding the appointment of a new president, and I would like to explain that decision to you. As stated in the materials in front of you, after the conclusion of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in June, I will become Chairman of the Board of Directors, and in my place, Takahito Tokita, who is sitting next to me, will take up the position of President and Representative Director. At the same time, we will create a new management structure consisting of three Representative Directors, with Hidenori Furuta and Mitsuya Yasui both being promoted from their positions as SEVPs to become, respectively, SEVP and Representative Director responsible for the Technology Solutions Business and for sales units, and SEVP and Representative Director responsible for Global Corporate Functions and for units outside Japan. Hidehiro Tsukano, who is currently SEVP and Representative Director, will become Corporate Senior Vice Chairman, working under the new President to see out the completion of the ‘business structure transformation’ that he has been working on together with me. |
