To top role.

Fujitsu General Australia has appointed Philip Perham (pictured) to the position of managing director, effective 3 April 2017. Perham steps up from his current position of deputy managing director, where he has played a pivotal role in the executive team for eight years.

Mr Toru Ishizuka will remain on the executive team in the capacity of chairman, providing high level counsel to Fujitsu General management.

“Philip has been working with Fujitsu General for nearly 18 years and has made invaluable contributions in many areas of the company during this time. However, more importantly during his eight year tenure as deputy managing director, he has been at the heart of the executive team with heavy involvement in the planning and implementation of our organisation’s evolution,” Ishizuka said.

“I firmly believe that he is the right person to succeed as the driver of our company values and strategic projects. I am confident he will implement them with vigour, naturally on the back of his strong will to succeed, his determination and leadership qualities.”

Perham commented, “I look forward to continuing the success Fujitsu General Australia has experienced under the leadership of Mr Ishizuka. The culture of the business is one of excellence, and with the executive team I aim to continue building a motivated and powerful workforce as we move into the next phase of growth.”
