In a statement regarding his appointment, Hosaka said, „It is an honor for me to take on this new leadership role during such a dynamic time for ONE. While the industry faces significant global challenges, my main priority is to ensure that our service standards remain lean and agile to meet the evolving needs of our customers at the highest level.“
He added, „Shipping remains the backbone of global trade, delivering essential everyday items that support people’s lives around the world. At ONE, we have a great and diverse team focused on innovation, customer satisfaction, and sustainability. By building on the solid foundations laid over the past eight years, we will work together to ensure that ONE remains a strong, reliable, and future-ready organization with the adaptability to succeed through 2030 and beyond.“
In his new role, Hosaka will be supported by the board members of ONE Europe and Africa: Stanley Smulders (Product and Network), Dan Miura (Marketing and Sales), and Masashi Hamada (Corporate Development and Innovation).
