It's not RENT, but it's still a year. And it's essentially been just over a year since we launched DRIVEpm in Japan. What a year it has been:
- the team is now writing over $800K/mo. in revenue
- the team is one of a mere handful who met their budget for FY09 (generating over $5.5M USD in revenue and beating their target by 1.7%... in a down economy)
- growing from four folks to eight, doubling their size.
Best, the team has created and is maintaining their cohesiveness in spite of a recent reorganization that has them folding into the larger Microsoft business. It's a treat, Avid Reader to see history repeat itself relative to a strong business being created... this time in a world oh so far away and one in which I've been able to play a strong part. I couldn't be more thankful.
We enjoyed a delicious okanomiyaki restaurant tonight and spent more than four hours enjoying adult beverages and conversation. Despite being overly tired and jet lagged today, it was the best possible way to end the evening. Oh, and two of my three presentatiosn to online professionals in Japan are now complete. One to go!
