Background

About Yoichi Ueda

As a global executive, I transform financial performance for global industry leaders like Johnson & Johnson, Carrier, and now Tsubaki Nakashima (TSE:6464). Serving as Tsubaki Nakashima’s CFO, I am leading a business transformation encompassing financial health, governance, and P&L performance. My focus is instilling rigorous financial practices and aligning internal and external stakeholders to sustainably grow profitability. My career is underpinned by my global experience, including a Kellogg MBA and pivotal leadership roles for $1B+ business units with 10+ global sites. I excel at inspiring teams in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. and aligning C-suite leadership on multinational operations and sales to advance long-term business strategy. As a leader, I prioritize hiring and team development to foster 90%+ employee engagement scores and top performance. I'm at my best when leading businesses through transformation. Success like turning around J&J's Japanese pharma business from decline to 15% growth or producing $70M in cost savings at Carrier demonstrates my aptitude for change leadership. My approach combines rigorous financial discipline with agile, authentic leadership. Whether I’m on-site at manufacturing plants or meeting with investors, I generate confidence to improve financial performance with uncompromising standards. In today's volatile global markets, this human-centered approach to finance has proven invaluable for navigating supply chain disruptions, international regulations, and organizational transformation. I welcome connections with other business executives pursuing operational and financial excellence for global companies- Areas of Expertise: P&L Oversight Cross-Cultural Leadership Investor Relations Financial Planning & Analysis Cash Flow & Working Capital Debt Financing Accounting Financial Controls Corporate Governance Private Equity Financing
