Japan Airlines has appointed its first female president and CEO, Mitsuko Tottori. The historic appointment of Mitsuko Tottori as the first female president and CEO of Japan Airlines is a beacon of hope, marking the first time in seven decades that a woman has led the flight company.
Hiring Tottori as the newest CEO has also boosted Japan Airlines to the list of Japanese companies led by women, less than one per cent. Unlike most business leaders, Tottori is new to the corporate sector and has climbed the ranks since her career as a cabin crew member.
