Teruhide Hashimoto is President and chief executive officer (CEO) of VeriSign Japan, the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mr. Hashimoto joined VeriSign Japan as general manager in 2000, when there were only 30 employees, and a revenue of $5 million. He has focused on building up the team, and motivated VeriSign Japan to achieve an impressive series of successes. He soon became executive vice president and chief operating officer, and under his leadership, VeriSign Japan has been growing fast; the company went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2003 and reported a revenue of over $50 million in 2004.
Mr. Hashimoto was named president and CEO of VeriSign Japan in March 2005, and his vision in the Japanese market is clear: Not only is VeriSign Japan a leading provider of public key infrastructure (PKI) solutions, the company will also offer a comprehensive portfolio of intelligent infrastructure services for telecommunications carriers and enterprise customers.
Prior to joining VeriSign Japan, Mr. Hashimoto was general manager of North East Asia at Tibco Financial Technologies, a position he held for eight years. Before that, he was in charge of workstation sales at Apollo Computer, Japan (currently HP), where he started up a sales team for the financial sector.
Mr. Hashimoto believes that successful leadership begins by closely listening to all customers and employees. |
