Making yourself a global product Many people think that only visible and tangible products such as cars, game machines, and/or candies are the marketable products. But actually there are many “products” that are invisible or intangible, such as services. For a long time, I have thought that “I am a product” and have tried to enhance my product value and quality. Since I left Sony Corporation, I worked for many foreign companies as a senior executive such as American Express, International　Data Group, AOL, and Intuit before assuming the position of CEO at livedoor in 2006. Leaving Sony meant leaving the Japanese community for me. Since that time, I have tried to train myself as a global executive, or “a global product.” At my presentation, I will talk about how I came up with this idea, how I trained myself, what are my successes, and what are the mistakes I made. At the same time, I would like to share with the audience my dreams and my future goals. I am 62 years old. I am still a kozo (kid). So are you. We all have a great future to look forward to.	Kozo Hiramatsu Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of kozocom, Inc. Born in 1946, Mr. Hiramatsu graduated from American University with a degree in communication studies. After graduation, he worked at Sony Corporation for 13 years. Throughout his career, Mr. Hiramatsu has held important posts such as vice president of American Express International, Inc., president of IDG Communications, Inc., and president of AOL Japan. In 2000, Mr. Hiramatsu was inaugurated as CEO of Intuit Japan. In 2002, the company became independent from its US parent company by MBO(management buy out), and changed its name to Yayoi Co., Ltd. Mr.Hiramatsu was then named president of the company. The company disposed of all stocks in 2004 and became a member of the livedoor Group, of which he became president in 2006. In April 2007, livedoor Co., Ltd.changed its name to livedoor Holdings Co. Ltd. Mr. Hiramatsu retired from livedoor in December 2007, and was named Chairman and CEO of kozocom,Inc., in January 2008. Kozocom is a networking community made up of active seniors who intend to live the latter half of their lives in a healthy,wealthy and wise way.
