NEC Corporation of America today announced a change in executive leadership at the CEO level.
NECAM named Masahiro (Mark) Ikeno as its new President and CEO. He previously led NEC’s EMEA operations, where as President and CEO he oversaw activities for all NEC subsidiaries in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Prior to his EMEA assignment, Mr. Ikeno worked closely with NECAM as VP of the Global Business Unit and General Manager of the Americas and EMEA Divisions. He also worked in the United States from 1994 to 2002 as Director of Business Planning for the Server Division.
“I look forward to the new challenge of leading NEC Corporation of America and helping to create new social value by capitalizing on our advanced AI and IoT assets, including biometrics and recognition systems, as well as enterprise, retail solutions and service provider networking and data center technologies,” said Mr. Ikeno. “By strengthening our collaboration with customers and partners, NECAM aims to make valuable contributions to society through innovative solutions and services that drive steady growth throughout the North American market.”
