Sharp Corporation of Australia's new managing director is Hitoshi Kagawa.
“I am excited to be joining the Australian team and lead the local operations. Together we will set the benchmark that Sharp is the preferred brand as we expand offerings in the consumer and business solutions markets," said Kagawa (pictured, right).
Kagawa was most recently president of Sharp Brazil.
