Masashi Matsumoto

I am a Automotive/Industrial Designer. I speak Japanese, Italian, English fluently and a bit of German. I have built my career primarily in the field of industrial design, but now, having reached the age of 40, I see this as a natural turning point and am seeking new challenges in either the field of education or the food and beverage industry.My background is in design, and I have served as a design director at companies such as Subaru, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Mercedes-Benz Trucks. In addition to my work in the automotive industry, I have experience as a part-time lecturer at a design school and have developed and implemented in-house training programs for staff development in corporate settings, serving as a tutor and mentor.Given the current transitional phase of the automotive industry, I see this moment as an opportunity to explore a different path, which has led me to register for this new direction.
