The Administration Manager Created The No.1 Corporate on AR Businesses, and I Asked His Thoughts.
Administration manager -Mr. Yoshikazu Nakano interview
Nice to meet you, this is the “Medium” team of Pretia Technologies!
Today we are proud to introduce our articles to have many people know about our company, Pretia. We are planning to provide you with information which explains about our members and the atmosphere of our office.
For this time, as the second coworkers interview series, we will interview an administration manager Mr. Nakano!
First of all, we will introduce his profile.
Yoshikazu Nakano
Since he had graduated, he joined Japan Information and Communication Consulting Co., Ltd. (currently known as NTC Co., Ltd.)Mainly he worked in the management department as a financial accounting field for more than 20 years. Among them, he experienced that 3 companies got listed on. In 2019, he joined Pretia Technologies Co., Ltd. as an administration manager.
Mr. Nakano, thank you for taking your time today! To start with, could you tell me why you joined Pretia?
In short, I got attracted to the CEO of Pretia Mr. Ushio’s intelligence and personality, so I thought I want to work with him.
Moreover, I also got attracted to the AR business itself, which probably will spread out to this society. Although I joined as an administration manager, the reason why I decided to join Pretia is that AR business is a new business in terms of management and accounting, so I hope other companies which work on AR businesses follow after Pretia runs and it would spread out to our society. Now, I am widely in charge of management such as accounting, labor, general affairs, finance, and so on.
Mr. Nakano has experience of preparing for the listing of 7 companies and got the listing of 3 companies though, how can these past experiences be used for a present job?
In any sector, I think management department jobs do not have any big difference. It means, what I am always aware of is that if I could work according to the fundamental principle, I would never make any mistakes. Specifically, the fundamental principle is a part of laws and accounting standards. Although I was taught this in a company in which I was enrolled, I think this point of view is still effective. On the other hand, because nobody has done AR business before, there are different interesting points about how we are working in these situations.
Well, Mr. Nakano with a lot of experience, what do you think is the characteristics that would lead a company to be listed on?
It depends, but I think there are mainly 4 characteristics. Probably three of them are obvious. First, the company’s sales are increasing. Second, the company governance is mature. Third, the company always obeys compliance. The second and third are basically internal control, so keys are how the company constructs the environment to prevent cheating, and how the company does sound management. Moreover, the fourth important key is that all employees work in the company as one. Even if only managers work hard, the company could not prepare for listing. I think the most achieving companies have a president or managers who have good leadership, have an atmosphere where all employees follow them to achieve, and their systems are organized.
So, making both the side of systems and cultures fulfilling creates an outstanding result. What do you think about upcoming factors at Pretia?
The president has cohesive force, and the other members follow the president’s attitude to work hard to achieve. To prepare for the listing, it is vital that all employees understand the thought and importance of the governance. If only an employee does not follow, the company may not achieve to get listed on. Thus, all employees understand the thought and importance, I consider that the company has a base to get listed on. As future initiatives, because multinational members work at Pretia, we have to share the henceforth Japanese governance to make them understand and spread common sense to the members.
Other than the governance structure, what is the attractiveness to work at Pretia?
I already said shortly, our members are multinational, so we can do business for worldwide targets. It is one of our advantages that we can easily bring our businesses not only in Japanese market but also in the international market.
On the side of working style, currently commonized remote work, and I emphasize that we can produce results. Since the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic, even remote working styles have been spread though, it is difficult to work as before the pandemic. Pretia has honest members, and organized working systems, so that’s why I think we can produce results.
Diversity at Pretia was also a topic in this Mr. Suzuki’s article. Indeed, I agree Pretia could work flexibly in the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, what kind of people would Mr. Nakano like to work with?
As the department of management, I want to work with honest and faithful people. We will never leave all the work to you, and we provide the environment where you can develop yourself. AR businesses are still a rising field, so you do not have to mind about your experiences. Please knock on the door.
Well, in the end, please share your comment for Pretia’s future colleague!
I believe that AR businesses will grow and it is an interesting industry. Let’s work hard with us to achieve both goals that make Pretia bigger and your growth.
Mr. Nakano, thank you for cooperating with this interview!
Pretia has systems as a company and the culture is established, and therefore even AR is in the new field, the excellence of aim for listing are realized.
