Meet our Expert Yukihiro Ogasawara | Managing Director & Chairman​

ECEOgasawara1

Every day is full of challenge and excitement. I enjoy working with our people who have enterprising spirit.


Meet Yukihiro Ogasawara, Country Head of Japan who has been a market-leading expert with more than 40 years' industry experience.

Why do you work at Colliers?
I work at Colliers because I have had the incredible opportunity to build scale, growing and expanding Colliers’ capabilities in Japan. It is my goal to make Colliers one of the top three real estate services providers in the market. Every day is both challenging and exciting, and I particularly enjoy being able to work with people who are professional, active and enterprising.

What do you do when you’re not leading our industry into the future? (The response to this should be fun, but should also touch upon the person’s interests outside of work)
I enjoy gardening (but mostly weeding) and going to gym with my wife at every weekend. I have been taking private lessons with a trainer so I am happy to say that I have built up a bit of muscles.
