From a Perfume-Loving Teenager to a Cosmetics Chairman

I loved perfume as a high schooler — just a simple "like," with no career calculation. Yet when I job-hunted after Canada, I chose a perfume maker from six offers, because I wanted to work near what I loved.

The product development I learned there opened the door to a TSE-listed company, then to my own cosmetics business, and now forms the foundation of BIOT. A high schooler's "like" became a company's pillar thirty years later. Don't treat your "like" lightly.

Stay near what you love, choose it when you can — and someday the dots become a line. Mine led to Nasdaq.

What do you work for?
