Hiroko Koide

Hiroko Koide (COM’87) of Tokyo, Japan, writes, “I was appointed senior vice president, global brand and advertising development, at Newell Brands of Hoboken, N.J. I’m in charge of the baby care, technical apparel, and brand-positioning work across the entire brand portfolio of Newell. I’m also serving as external board director for two Japanese companies: Kirin and Mitsubishi Electric. I have a busy life commuting between Tokyo and New York, but I somehow squeeze in time for my music activities—playing viola in an orchestra, playing piano, taking vocal lessons, singing in a choir, and karaoke.” Email Hiroko at putch-hkoide@k05.itscom.net.
