Starting his career as a commercial banker at Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Akio Mori was responsible for small to mid-sized companies in the center of Tokyo. He then moved to the New York branch to engage in sales and analysis of syndicated loans (including leveraged buyout financing) for large US-based clients.
