Event Detail

Masako Arakane is President of QUALIA Inc, a unique position for a Japanese woman, as only 6% of women in Japan are in management positions.

Inc., a consulting company which focuses on supporting organizational change by creating corporate Diversity strategies. She annually holds

more than 200 lectures, training sessions and workshops throughout Japan. In recent years she has been focusing on integrating Diversity

promotion and the 鏑earning Organization・theory by putting her energies into developing female leaders, holding joint workshops with male supervisors and female subordinates and mentoring systems. Some of the companies QUALIA Inc supports are Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., Caterpillar Japan Ltd., Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., NTT Group, government related financial institutions, electric companies and IT corporations in addition to a long list of accomplishments with many other corporations. All these opportunities gave her first-hand experience on how to get things accomplished.
