平井一夫

所在公司：索尼

現(xiàn)任CEO：霍華德?斯金格

????人們認(rèn)識平井一夫，是因為他奇跡般地使業(yè)績不佳的索尼（Sony）PlayStation業(yè)務(wù)起死回生，或者就像索尼官網(wǎng)上的簡歷所說的那樣，他使PlayStation品牌“成為了杰出游戲的代名詞”。今年三月，平井一夫被提拔為公司常務(wù)副總裁，負(fù)責(zé)管理索尼的消費(fèi)性電子業(yè)務(wù)。這清楚地表明現(xiàn)任CEO霍華德?斯金格會把索尼的權(quán)杖交給他。不過平井一夫的新工作并不輕松。先是今年三月的日本大地震把索尼的東京總部震了一番，緊接著最近又有黑客侵入索尼的電腦，盜走顧客信息。投資人將密切觀察索尼，看平井一夫能否在新崗位上再創(chuàng)奇跡。

Kazuo Hirai

Company: Sony

Current CEO: Howard Stringer

????Kazuo "Kaz" Hirai is known as the man who worked magic on the underperforming PlayStation franchise, or as his official corporate bio puts it, he made the PlayStation brand "synonymous with exceptional gaming." In March, Hirai was promoted to his current position as executive deputy president and officer in charge of Sony's consumer electronics businesses. The move was part of a clear signal that Howard Stringer would pass the baton to him. The new job hasn't been a cakewalk, though. The devastating quakes in March rocked the company's Tokyo headquarters, and hackers recently breached Sony computers, stealing customer data. Investors will watch closely to see if Hirai can work the same magic in his new job.
