As promised with the release of its Q2 financial results, biometrics manufacturer Fingerprint Cards AB (FPC) is expanding its staff, with a focus on the Japanese and other Asian markets, today announcing that Takeshi Murakami, former Authentec Inc. senior sales manager, has been recruited as FPC country manager in Japan.
FPC has been benefiting from the recent interest in biometrics that has been sweeping the region, most recently launching the company’s first smartphone with an integrated fingerprint swipe sensor available from Fujitsu. Murakami’s recruitment comes as part of FPC’s initiative to expand its existing Tokyo office to include sales and marketing staff.
Fingerprint Cards CEO Johan Carlström endorses Murakami’s expertise in the field, going on to call this week’s smartphone launch “just the start of FPC’s success in Japan.”
