JAPAN, October 19, 2016 —SRi has expanded its offering into Japan with the appointment of exciting industry talent Yusuke Isoda as a Consultant, Japan.

Supported by a team of multi-lingual researchers, Isoda will use his experience in Japan to further extend the company’s global reach that already includes offices in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK.
