GLOBIS Stories podcast host Tanner Schroeder is joined by Stéphane, a GLOBIS alumni. Stéphane, originally from the western part of France, shares his journey, including over a decade of living and working in Japan.
Discover how Stéphane, an urban planner who graduated from the English MBA program about 10 years ago, first came to Japan for a professional opportunity in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Stéphane discusses how his personal life, including marrying a Japanese woman, led him to seek a job in Japan. He shares why he chose to pursue his MBA, even though his boss was not supportive, and how the frameworks and critical thinking skills he gained helped him advance his career, particularly at Toyota Motor Corporation.
Learn about his personal mission, or kokorozashi, which he defines as a process of building context for one’s own growth, and how he successfully transitioned to working as a consultant in Southeast Asia, focused on smart cities and digital transformation.
