Sony Corporation
As CEO of consumer electronics giant Sony, Kazuo (Kaz) Hirai faces an uphill battle in turning around the fortunes of the once-dominant Japanese company. While advancing mobile, digital imaging, videogames and network services, he is also preparing for the debut of Sony’s next-generation PlayStation 4 gaming console. Hirai began his career with CBS/Sony Inc. (now Sony Music Entertainment Japan), where he was involved in the marketing of international music in Japan, and later headed the international business affairs department. He then moved to Sony Music Japan’s New York office, where he led the marketing of the company’s artists in the U.S.
