[Message on Appointment as Advisor]
I am honored to accept the position of Credit Management Consulting Advisor.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in this field, I have come to believe that credit management must function not only to reduce credit risk, but also to help expand business opportunities. It is, in my view, an essential function for any company engaged in commercial transactions.
While my contribution may be modest, I will do my utmost to support the consulting initiatives of Naker Rating K.K. by drawing on the knowledge and experience I have accumulated over the years.
Thank you very much for your trust and support.
