That’s head of IT in less posh terms
Hiromichi Mizuno is set to be named in the role of Chief Information Officer at the massive pension monster after being nabbed from London’s Coller Capital
He joined Coller Capital in 2003 and is responsible for finding, arranging and monitoring investments, according to the company’s website. Mizuno previously worked at the then Sumitomo Trust Bank, with roles including head of private equity investment in New York and vice president of the international credit department in Tokyo, according to the website.
Coller Capital, founded by British financier Jeremy Coller, specializes in buying assets from other private-equity investors who are seeking to free up capital. It spends from $1 million to more than $1 billion on each transaction and has done deals with Lloyds Banking Group Plc, Credit Agricole SA and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, according to its website.
It’s potentially big news as it shows the level of ambition that Abe & Co want for the pension company as it’s not been one for paying top dollar for people put in place at the top.
