Nobu is the new boss [maj]
Si vous suivez l’actu de ce blog (lien d’il y a 1 an + autre lien), on vous avait annoncé le départ officiel (puis finalement pas de départ mais un post de Representative Director [maj] Finalement Nobu est aussi le représentativ Director – ça change tout le temps) de Masahiko Yamada pour fin mars 2018 (l’année fiscal se termine en mars au Japkon). Le nouveau successeur était Nobutaka Ide (dit Nobu Ide). Il a pris officiellement le poste depuis ce début d’avril. Il n’est pas un ancien de la boîte puisqu’il est arrivé juste en 2013. On note aussi dans la partie Wacom Investors qu’il y a aussi des départs (raison perso…).

Donc une grande page de Wacom se tourne puisque Masahiko Yamada était le boss depuis presque le début. Dès 1996, puis CEO+ PDG depuis 2004. Sa page sur Bloomberg.
さようなら Masahiko Yamada (le truc bizarre au début, ça veut dire au revoir en japonais).
[maj] On a vu que 3DVF avait repris la Press Release sur la page News & Events de Wacom.
