Masanori Akiyama, President And Ceo, Sky Perfect Jsat

摘要

Masanori Akiyama has been instrumental in the satellite business in Japan since its inception and helped sell the first commercial satellite ever launched for Japan-JCSat-1 in 1989. Today, he leads the largest satellite operator in the Asia-Pacific region-and the fifth largest fixed satellite services (FSS) provider in the world-a company he created by engineering the combination of the two largest satellite operators in Asia and one of the larger DTH services. Sky Perfect JSAT Corp. was established through the integration of JSAT Corp. and Sky Perfect Communications Inc., and in 2008, the holding company converted Space Communications Corp. (SCC) into a subsidiary. Akiyama, president and CEO, formulated the acquisition strategy and guided the company through the various regulatory hurdles to complete the purchase, and since closing the deals, he has brought three distinct businesses together.
