Seiko Corp. of America
Akira Suzuki took over as the new president of Seiko Corp. of America, located in Mahwah, N.J., on Jan. 2. Suzuki was appointed executive vice president of Seiko Watch Corp., the parent holding firm, last September. He has over 40 years with the company. His previous assignments include serving as head of Seiko Clock worldwide. Earlier, during the 1980s, he was in charge of the Seiko USA clock division when it was located in New York City.
Suzuki succeeded Masato Nakaoda, who had been SCA president only since June and has returned to Tokyo to assume a new position overseeing corporate communications and the brand-building strategies for some of Seiko Corp.'s other product divisions, including clocks, opticals, and jewelry.
The rest of the SCA management team remains unchanged, and its mission remains the same, said Nakaoda in a Dec. 19 letter. “We will continue to lead in new watch technologies and to further demonstrate innovation and refinement.”
