“It will be my responsibility to challenge and drive new business and growth opportunities as well as enhance existing business.

A Mitsubishi Electric media statement confirmed that Yamanaka is returning to Japan to become the general manager for global planning at Mitsubishi Electric’s Tokyo head office.
“It is with some sadness that I am leaving Sydney to take on this exciting new role in Tokyo,” Yamanaka said. “I have been in Australia for three years and I can say without hesitation that this has been an extremely enjoyable experience.”
“It has been rewarding leading the company from strength to strength during what has been a very volatile time in the market.”
