Masatoshi Ito was one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Japan, starting with a single store and turning it into more than 80,000 worldwide. He built his business on hard work, good fortune, and the principles of Peter Drucker, but he didn’t learn those principles in the classroom. He was one of Drucker’s good friends (and yes, that’s his name on the Burkle Building). Mr. Ito passed away on March 10 at the age of 98. CGU honors his legacy: http://ow.ly/JFC050NjhiB
