As the company moves into the final year of its Epson 25 Renewed corporate vision, this leadership transition marks a pivotal moment in shaping Epson’s next corporate strategy with a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and corporate growth.
Speaking on his successor, Yasunori Ogawa, outgoing CEO and incoming chairman, commented: “Junkichi Yoshida has been involved in driving business and product strategies after a career in overseas marketing and sales, during which he launched new business areas in the Americas and expanded sales networks in Asia.
“For the past four years, he has led Epson’s core printing solutions business. I am confident that he will demonstrate excellent leadership and propel Epson to new heights in the future.
“In my role as chairman of the board, I will seek to further enhance board effectiveness; strengthen Epson’s corporate governance; engage in external, public, and social activities; and occasionally advise president Yoshida.”
Yoshida added: “As the person with whom ultimately responsibility for the company rests, I will work with the new leadership team to create an environment that motivates people, so that we all can unite and strive toward our common goals.
“I will do everything I can to continue to expand the ecosystem of inkjet innovation and formulate the next 10-year strategic corporate vision to establish new growth drivers for Epson.”
