He will run Sony's overall group business operations on a global basis. In this new position, the 63-year-old will also continue in his role as the head of the Entertainment Business Group and head of Sony Corporation of America.

His career went from strength to strength when he joined Sony in 1997 and was then knighted in 1999.
