Building a better working world
As a guest lecturer at the Tokyo Institute of Technology since 2010, I have been teaching young engineering graduate students from all over the world in the “Technical Management of Sustainable Engineering”, covering a wide range of accounting, finance and business matters.
My objective is to share knowledge that is beneficial and relevant not only to the students’ future careers but also to everyday life for them and their families.
