*Interviewed in March 2017. He is scheduled to start work as a national civil servant from April.

I want to stay in developing countries for a long time and work in ODA projects. I want to never give up, no matter what difficulties I face, and continue to learn throughout my life.

After graduating, he worked at the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Asian Development Bank, the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) research lab, and as a fixed-term employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before joining a development consulting company. He mainly stayed in developing countries for long periods of time, where he was in charge of planning and implementing Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects. Since he carried out projects together with government officials of recipient countries, he was required to think logically as a consultant, as well as to have the flexibility and communication skills to steer the project in changing on-site conditions. The English he learned at IP during his university days has now become indispensable for him in his work around the world.

*Currently on secondment to Nikon Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.

What I learned about IP in my student days is directly useful in my current job. In the future, I want to contribute to enriching people's lives on a global scale.

Since my third year at the company, I have been working in finance and accounting at the financial headquarters in Asia. Unlike Europe and the US, Asia is not easy as each country has its own unique regulations and rules, but I feel that doing business there is rewarding. I have many opportunities to hold meetings and give presentations in English with overseas staff, so I am able to put to use what I learned at IP while I was a student. I would like to continue to realize my dream of "contributing to enriching people's lives on a global scale" through my work.

I would like to use the communication skills I developed during my student days to contribute to solving global problems as a consultant.

During my time at the university, I had many opportunities to interact with students from Japan and abroad, as well as with working adults through extracurricular activities. The communication skills I developed there have been extremely useful in my work supporting financial regulatory compliance. Also, the English I studied thoroughly during my time as a student has helped me demonstrate my abilities in my current job in the United States. In the future, I hope to utilize my skills as a consultant to contribute to solving various problems around the world by supporting NPOs and NGOs.

Every day I feel the weight of my social responsibility as I work in a stressful environment. I want to continue studying and contribute to the development of the Japanese economy.

Currently, I work in the Investigation Bureau, where I investigate cases of violation of the Antimonopoly Act, such as cartels and bid rigging. During the investigation process, the case is sometimes featured in the media, such as on television and in newspapers, and it has a large impact on society. In that sense, I am involved in very tense work, and every day I feel the weight of my social responsibility. I will continue to study economics and use it in my daily work to protect the free economic order and contribute to the development of the Japanese economy.
