MLL in Japan and Korea

Hiroshi Kawaguchi Joined MLL in November 2016 as Marketing and Communications Manager for Japan and Korea. He’s responsible for everything from product development to sales and communications, in order to develop the MLL business in this region and his key priority for 2018 is to develop new licensees.

Hiroshi previously worked for 10 years in Michelin Sales before joining the Events, Communications and Trade Marketing teams so he knows the tyre business well, but when asked what is his biggest challenge in this role he said “Every day, everything is a big challenge for me! Different culture, different language, different countries, but it’s exiting!”

This is also the part of the job Hiroshi says he enjoys the most “Because my carrier since I joined MICHELIN has always been in tires, everything is a new experience for me! It’s a good opportunity and I enjoy everything!”

Out of work Hiroshi loves all sports from motorsport, to International football, cycling and snowboarding. He also loves a good beer, wine or sake and his 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
