OKI Europe has appointed Tsukasa Takasawa as its new managing director, replacing Dennie K. Kawahara who is moving back to OKI Data Corporation.
Mr Takasawa joined the OKI Group in 2016 as chief executive of staff before going on to become director and divisional general manager for OKI Data Corporation’s Corporate Planning and Administration divisions. In those roles he held strategic responsibility for corporate planning, finance, accounting, information systems and risk management, as well as participating in OKI Data Corporation’s mid-term business planning.
Prior to joining the OKI Group, Mr Takasawa held a number of senior roles in the finance sector, including domestic, international and global trade finance positions.
‘In a mature, evolving market, OKI Europe’s long-standing reputation and more than 30 years of experience of customer-driven innovation gives us a strong competitive edge,’ Mr Takasawa said. ‘OKI’s pioneering digital applications, focused printer technology, with unrivalled media handling capabilities and superb colour quality can really deliver considerable benefits to niche and established vertical industry sectors to enhance customer experience and increase their bottom line, making it an exciting time for the organisation.’
