HEAD OF THE DAY
🇯🇵 Kenichiro Yoshida
🕹️ The strategist who turned Sony into an entertainment powerhouse
Instead of just selling hardware, his strategy was to leverage Sony’s best-in-class hardware technology to strengthen its content empire across film, music, and games. After successfully reshaping the company since 2018, he will move to the chairman role in 2025 and hand the CEO post to his successor.
👉 Lesson learned:
Yoshida’s success rested on treating Sony’s hardware and content not as separate businesses but as a single, mutually reinforcing ecosystem.
