Takeshi (Tim) Harada

We fought a war togetrher, restructuring Geneon Universal Entertainment LLC which has been in loss for 5years, and 7 CEOs tried and could not turn around. We have changed many things together, way to do acquisition, royalty contract scheme, head count reduction including negotiation with Labor Union, gross margin structure, AMAZON initiatived, key account partnership, etc. We changed them all in less than 1 year, was a mess, almost a war. Wendell, with his gifted sense of humor and personality, always contributed to promote sense of team effort in the company, and did much more than GUE CFO. As a team mate, I admire him very much. Correct, wendell?
