For Makiko Eda, who has been chief representative officer of the World Economic Forum (WEF)¡¯s Japan Office since last April, leaving her previous job as president of Intel Japan was a big challenge, but one she was willing to take on.

¡°Curiosity is the source of my energy,¡± said Eda. ¡°To keep on making an effort, to keep learning and making new colleagues, and using those resources to do something new is important to me.¡±
