HONOLULU- In January 2005, Ryan Armstrong was named global business
programs manager at JAIMS, an institute located in Hawaii Kai that
specializes in intercultural management.
Armstrong is responsible for managing the Intercultural Management
Program, a four-month program for business people interested in
learning about Western business principles and methods. He is directly
involved with curriculum development, internship placement, and
program marketing.
"Ryan's international experience and insight meet the unique needs
of JAIMS and the participants," said Dr. Blair Odo, vice president
for Academic Affairs. "He's one of our outstanding graduates, and
we are fortunate to have him aboard."
Prior to relocating to Honolulu from Japan, Armstrong served as
manager for Japanese Government Affairs at the American Chamber
of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) where he was responsible for enhancing
relationships with the government of Japan, including the Diet,
ministries and business organizations. At the ACCJ, Armstrong planned
and coordinated the annual Diet Doorknock, the Chamber's largest
consolidated advocacy event, in which the ACCJ provided more than
80 Diet members with economic and policy recommendations from the
perspective of international business organizations operating in
Japan.
Armstrong is a graduate of the Japan-focused MBA program, a cooperative
program of JAIMS and the University of Hawaii's College of Business.
He obtained a bachelor's degree in Asian studies from Colgate University
in New York, completed a Japanese translation correspondence certificate
course, and worked with the Japanese government in Kagawa Prefecture.
