Från Japan till Sverige: Roche nya vd

Efter sin flytt från Japan till Sverige berättar Yoshito Nakanishi, som är ny general manager på Roche, sina första intryck av företaget, några oväntade överraskningar och sina tankar om livet i Sverige. Företaget ser samtidigt fram emot att dra nytta av Yoshitos nya perspektiv och erfarenheter, de som påminner om Sveriges styrkor och spännande möjligheter. Detta skriver Roche Sverige på sin Linkedin-sida.

What has stood out to you in your first months in the role?

– One thing that really surprised me here is the flat organizational culture. Coming from Japan’s more traditional, hierarchical style, I wasn’t expecting this level of openness and collaboration! The team’s energy is inspiring, with everyone pitching in and driving new ideas from the ground up – this culture has brought a refreshing sense of agility and creativity.

What are your reflections on the healthcare landscape in Sweden?

– I’ve been impressed by Sweden’s collaborative approach within the healthcare sector, especially its focus on patient-centered care. This gives us a unique opportunity to integrate our expertise and work closely with local partners to make a meaningful impact.

And a personal reflection on life in Sweden?

– I’ve been delighted by the clean streets, the fantastic food, the polite locals, and even the friendly (usually!) weather. Sweden feels like a home away from home, with so many parallels to Japan, which makes me love it even more!

We’re thrilled to have Yoshito on board, bringing fresh perspectives and a wealth of experience to our team. His insights remind us of the unique strengths we have here in Sweden and the exciting opportunities ahead!
