April 4, 2022

The move, effective this past April 1, will see Mizuno relocate to the United States.

Shingo Mizuno, global head of the Fujitsu Network Business, has added the roles of acting president and CEO of Fujitsu Network Communications to his responsibilities. The move, effective this past April 1, will see Mizuno relocate to the United States. Mizuno steps in for Doug Moore, whom Fujitsu has appointed CEO of Fujitsu North America.

A 33-year veteran with Fujitsu, Mizuno serves on the board of directors for the IOWN Global Forum. He also serves on industry committees for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), Association of Radio Industries and Business (ARIB), Photonics Electronics Technology Research Association (PETRA), and the ITU-Association of Japan. Mizuno holds a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree from Tokyo University of Science.

“Communications service providers are facing a radically different business environment, largely created by a convergence of technical and socioeconomic pressures,” said Mizuno. “To help our customers achieve greater business value, Fujitsu is paving the way to improved digital transformation technologies and open ecosystems.”

Moore had held the positions of president and CEO of Fujitsu Network Communications since November 2018. He joined the company in 1996, according to his LinkedIn profile.
