Early life and education

Miwako Date is the daughter of Akira Mori. She has two brothers. She went to the private Sacred Heart School in Tokyo. She graduated in media and governance from Keio University, Tokyo. After her graduation, she started working at a Japanese consulting firm.[3]

Career

In 1998 Date decided to join the family business and started working at Mori Trust. She became executive managing director of Mori Trust in 2008. She was the president of the Mori Trust Hotels & Resorts Co, and the chairman of Mampei Hotel, Karuizawa. In 2016, she became president & CEO of the Mori Trust, with her father Akira Mori assuming the role of chairman.[4]

Since she took over the role of CEO, Date has pursued a strategy of globalization as part of the Mori Trust's mid to long-term vision, called Advance 2027, in order to reduce the trust's dependency on the Japanese real-estate market, which accounts for more than 90% of the business.[5] Recent real estate acquisitions in Boston, and Silicon Valley, US, are a reflection of this strategy.[6][7][8]

Date is a member of the tourism subcommittee for an advisory panel on transportation policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), a commissioner of the Tokyo Building Owners and Managers Association, a commissioner of the Japan Hotel Association, and a trustee of the Japan Association of Corporate Executives.[9]

Date received a Bvlgari Avrora Award in 2017.[10]

In December 2017, Date was awarded a Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award in Tokyo.[11]

gollark: I still don't understand why you consider F# worse than PHP.
gollark: That's not more helpful.
gollark: *cannot interpret emoji*
gollark: F# is much terser, allows useful expressive FP stuff, and has a javascript compiler.
