Episode 20: Kenichi “Kent” Yoshida on the importance of AI and robotic solutions to enhance our human experience, on the leadership style of Masayoshi “Masa” Son, and on investing on new big things Methods to Greatness

    • Society & Culture

As a global leader in robotics technology, Japan-based corporation Softbank Robotics Group has taken massive strides in its creation of robot solutions that enhance our human experience. One of the great minds behind these innovations is our next guest: chief business officer Kenichi "Kent" Yoshida.

For the past 12 years, Kent has been instrumental to the growth of Softbank, and has sat at the helm of various projects for new business developments. One of his best-known contributions is the launch of Pepper, the world's first "social humanoid robot" that has the impressive feature of being able to recognize human faces and read emotions. Kent's ability to lead such developments comes as no surprise, as, prior to joining Softbank, he was the cofounder and COO of the enterprise knowledge management software company RealCom, which successfully listed on the Market of high-growth and emerging stocks, or Mothers, at the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2007.

In this episode, we have the unique opportunity to learn how Kent is able to steer Softbank in the right direction in terms of business innovation, and what it takes to succeed in the highly competitive and fast-paced world of technology.

👉 In this episode, Kent discusses a vast number of topics, including:
✅ The AI innovator and Japan-based corporation Softbank Robotics Group
✅ Robot solutions that enhance our human experience
✅ Investing on new big things
✅ Kent’s childhood in Japan and his influences
✅ Establishment of his software company Realcom in Japan
✅ The leadership style of Masayoshi “Masa” Son, Chariman and CEO of Softbank
