Ingrid Eder-Brunnhofer, MBA
I have been working in and with Japan for 30 years now and have personally witnessed the changes that have taken place in business life during this time. At the same time, I know now more than ever that some things will never change.
Business is done by people with people, and communication is key to success.
My education:
Japanese Studies & Anglistics, University of Vienna, Magister phil. 1994
Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, 1994/95 (JLPT N1)
Global Marketing and Management, Johannes Kepler University Linz, MBA 2002
my business experience:
At the beginning of my career, I was Managing Director of the Japanese subsidiary of a European group from 1995 to 2002, during which time I lived and worked mainly in Tokyo. From 2000 to 2002 I was also responsible for the international marketing of this group.
Since 2002 I have been working successfully as an independent consultant for various European companies. I live in Austria and travel to Japan regularly.
Since 2012 I have also been teaching Japanese language and culture at various colleges and adult education centres. This activity allows me to pass on some of what I have learned and experienced over many years to the next generation. At the same time, I can actively promote the relationship between Austria and Japan, which has always been important to me.
