Selected as Young Global Leader Class of 2011 – World Economic Forum

I’m incredibly honored to be selected as a Young Global Leader (YGL) Class of 2011 for the World Economic Forum (WEF).

From the official announcement:
The YGL class of 2011 is composed of 190 Young Global Leaders from 65 countries and all stakeholders of society (business, civil society, social entrepreneurs, politics and government, arts and culture, and opinion and media). The new class represents all regions. The Young Global Leaders reflect different kinds of leadership in different parts of the world and society. Set up as an independent not-for-profit foundation, under the supervision of the Swiss Government, the Forum of Young Global Leaders works in close cooperation with the World Economic Forum to integrate young leaders into deep interaction with other stakeholders of global society.

The others from Japan include:

  • Kanae Doi (土井香苗), Director – Japan Human Rights Watch
  • Masatada Kobayashi (小林正忠), Director and Senior Executive Officer – Rakuten Inc.
  • Shinjiro Koizumi (小泉進次郎), Member of the House of Representatives
  • Haruo Miyagi (宮城治男), President – ETIC (Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities)
  • Ken Noguchi (野口健), Alpinist
  • Yoshikazu Tanaka (田中良和), Chief Executive Officer – Gree.jp
  • Kouichi Yamauchi (山内康一), Member of the House of Representatives
  • Naoko Yamazaki (山崎直子), Astronaut – Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)

Here is a brief text of the letter I received:
It is with great pleasure that we inform you that you have been honoured as a Young Global Leader (YGL) 2011. This honour is bestowed by the World Economic Forum each year to recognize the most distinguished young leaders nominated below the age of 40 from around the world.
