Keiichi Ando

Board Director at Shionogi

Keiichi Ando has practical experience as a corporate executive at a financial institution and broad insight on finance. He also coordinated the extremely difficult adjustments between the national government and the governments of Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City for the airport management business of Kansai, which was then at a crossroads, and his experience and insight built the foundation of Kansai Airports, which plays a leading role in the current Kansai economy. Thus, he recognizes the corporate responsibility we should fulfill and makes management decisions with an emphasis on objectivity and impartiality, without bias in favor of corporate executives or specific interested parties. We therefore elected him as an outside director. At Board of Directors meetings, he presents many questions and opinions from the perspective of human resources and the use of assets that are important management resources, and provides appropriate advice about budget planning and management and capital policies, including investments.
