Sony Hawaii, in Washington DC

July 24, 2008 11:41am

As you may or may not know, Sony has a strong presence in sales of consumer electronics for military personnel use, which is led by many people, including Karl Okemura, senior vice president of Global Military Sales. With our Global Military headquarters located in Hawaii, Karl and his team recently made the trip out to Washington D.C. to meet with various politicians. Check out his post below about his journey.

Our military exchange sales team recently visited the Washington D.C. offices of two members of our Hawaii congressional delegation, the honorable senators Daniel Inouye and Daniel Akaka. Following regularly scheduled business meetings at the Navy Exchange HQ and Marine Corps Exchange HQ in Virginia, courtesy calls were made to introduce Sony Hawaii president Ned Nomura, as well as to provide an update on the various activities of Sony Hawaii.

Grand Canyon stop on the 40 Days Tour

July 21, 2008 10:56am

I was able to travel with Rick on his 40 days, 40 stores Sony blogging tour and our Grand Canyon helicopter tour outside of Las Vegas. I had the opportunity to get familiar and use the Sony Handycam camcorder HDR-SR11 for the trip to Las Vegas. 

Before my trip I spent time with El-Deane Naude, product information manager in the Digital Imaging group who gave me a quick 20 minute overview of the camcorder’s features. When it comes to electronics, I am one of those users who does not want to read a manual, just show me how it works and I am off and running.

Mission Complete: 42 Sony Style Stores in 40 Days

July 14, 2008 12:03pm

Dateline: Kansas City, Mo. Just completed visits to all 42 Sony Style stores across the country right on Day 40, Friday, July 11, 2008, of the first (and hopefully not last) national blog tour.
 
And what an interesting final day it was.
 
Before heading to the Sony Style store at the charming Country Club Plaza district, dating back to the 1920s on Nichols Road, Sarah Solomon, an employee communications specialist, and I visited Sony’s parts center for the Americas, which is also based here.

Since I’ve been giving out free Hancock movie passes throughout the store tour, my team and I decided on this final day we would take all of our 100-plus Kansas City parts center employees to see the movie at a nearby theater. Of course, I had a not-so-ulterior motive myself to check out the flick staring Will Smith.
