A day in the life of a Global Account Director in the United Kingdom
I am a digital performance “challenge junkie” who is addicted to building teams that can successfully master tools, operations and strategies.
Briefly describe the organisation you work for
Rakuten is Japanese company owning more than 70 businesses based in 29 countries, ranging from Tokyo to Silicon Valley, Sao Paulo to Bangalore. Each of these companies is positioned to strengthen our relationship with our members and merchants, while also providing strategic benefits to other business units. Though our companies are based in a wide range of businesses-- from communications and media to e-commerce and finance-- they all share one focus, exceeding customer expectations in every transaction.
