Bio
Janet Madden SHRM-SCP
I had the pleasure of partnering and working closely with Kenzo and his team at Renesas. Kenzo was very professional and ethical. He fostered great working relationships with people at all levels of the company. I found Kenzo to be an excellent internal resource due to his broad wealth of experience and knowledge in Talent Acquisition and Human Resources.

I had the pleasure of working under Kenzo Kimura's guidance at Renesas Electronics. I have been around in the workforce for quite some time now and have had many managers and Kenzo is one of the best people I have had as a Manager. I highly recommend his expertise to any person looking for a TA Manager. We went through 2 acquisitions and he was able to help guide the team on multiple complex aspects within Talent Acquisition. It would have been a very difficult journey without his guidance to say the least. He is a gifted manager who will help bring the best out of his team. He is very poised when it comes to handling difficult situations with various stakeholders (TA Ops, Benefits, Compensation, Immigration) and keeps the energy flowing within the team. He leads by example and keeps the team morale up. I highly recommend him and strongly vouch for his capabilities as a Talent Acquisition Manager. He will be a valuable asset to any organization that hires him.
