Guest Speakers:
After thirty years of working with Dentsu Inc., Tokyo, Cauitie Ocada started a consultancy, Ocada & Partners, with a focus on growing companies. He works closely with business owners to support company growth through marketing and brand strategy as well as business development. In the current COVID-19 circumstances, he advocates distance coaching service. He earned his MBA from USC, and an MS in Engineering from Keio University.
Gary Bremermann has worked as a specialist executive search consultant in Japan's advertising/marketing sector in Japan since 2001. He has had a front-row seat on the transformation of the marketing industry in Japan and its impact on go-to-market strategies, human capital requirements, and the determination of winners and losers in the market. A 1991 graduate of GPS at UC San Diego, Gary's entire career has been focused on Japan with a particular interest in international trade in goods and services.

Moderator:
Ulrike Schaede is Professor of Japanese Business at GPS, UC San Diego, and the Director of JFIT. Her research focuses on Japan's changing corporate strategies, including business culture, change management, and business organization. Her 2020 book "The Business Reinvention of Japan" analyzes how Japanese companies are responding to the rise of China and the changing global competition.

We hope to see you there!

Warm Regards,
