Why work at Yamaha/Yamaha Motor Ventures? What are you most excited about working in Yamaha Motor Ventures?
Yamaha is a company that provides products that become hobbies to people, meaning it offers products that can bring happiness and satisfaction to individuals. I joined Yamaha because I wanted to work on selling pleasure boats in the North American market, but by a twist of fate, I was assigned to the robotics division in my first year. Through training, I developed an interest in factory automation and have been involved in proposing automation solutions for about five years now. Through my work, I've come to realize that there are companies in the United States dealing with advanced technologies not commonly seen or heard of in Japan, which has fueled my curiosity. Wanting to work at YMV to support portfolio companies while enhancing the technical capabilities of the division, I expressed my desire and now work at YMV.
