L-R: Angénieux’s Dominique Rouchon, Yasuhiko Mikami, and Pierre Andurand
Yasuhiko Mikami has joined Angénieux as VP of Cinema/TV Business Development & Asian Operations. He will be based at the Thales Japan Tokyo office.
“Over the past 27 years, Yasu has been at the center of the digital imaging industry–driving the birth of HDTV, 24P, digital 35mm cameras, and 4K. His profound knowledge of the industry and technology trends will be a huge asset for Angénieux,” said Pierre Andurand, President of Angénieux.
Mr. Mikami occupied a well-used speed-dial button on the FDTimes phone when he was Senior Manager of Content Creation at Sony’s Atsugi Technology Center. He has contributed technical articles and insight to FDTimes. His French connection comes from having worked at Sony France for about 10 years.
Great news for Angenieux!
Indeed, Mr Mikami’s knowledge of the industry’s strategic possibilities, and his keen understanding of both the cinema, but also, the broadcast world, will be great assets for our friends at Angenieux. I wish everyone well in this new venture!
