Yo Omata is an ambitious woman. At 36, she is a medical science liaison with a U.S. pharmaceutical company in Tokyo, a job that perfectly complements her professional experience as a scientist with a PhD in dentistry.
Now, with a brand new MBA from the Desautels Faculty of Management of Ï㽶ÊÓƵ’s Japan program, her sights are firmly set on the C-suite.
It’s a goal she feels is a real possibility despite Japan’s stubbornly poor track record in promoting women to managerial or executive positions.
