The global investment community has long understood and lamented that there is tremendous latent value in corporate Japan that could become unlocked through improved English communication. Plain English provides that roadmap. Director Asai is a visionary who has the understanding and acumen to bring this together for Japan. This is why I am so passionate about the consortium.

It is a true honor to be a founding member of JPELC. As a long-time employee and consultant for many Japanese companies and Japanese government, I see the need for standardizing/simplifying English language usage across borders. The birth of JPELC is also timely given Japan’s domestic internationalization.
