Japan: an outrider for the world’s economic future
With its reliance on the tech sector and ageing population, Japan is the canary in the world's post-industrial coal mine, says Makiko Eda, head of the World Economic Forum's Japan office.
Makiko held a number of leadership positions in marketing and sales at Intel Corporation in Japan and Asia Pacific region. After serving as president and representative director of Intel Japan for five years, she assumed her current post in April 2018. Makiko has also been serving on the committee for the promotion of regulatory reform by the Japanese government from 2016. A graduate of Waseda University, she holds a master’s degree in sociology from Arkansas State University in the United States.
