Executive Leadership Kevin Kajitani
Like past revolutions in global mobility, avatars will enable us to expand our capability to further connect and collaborate across borders and over increasingly vast distances.
Although recent advances in technology tend to lack warmth and human touch, avatars are different because they are designed around us. They are not a technology to replace humanity, but rather a tool to enhance our abilities and enable us to unleash the full collective potential of everyone in the world. This is why avatarin’s 12 Be’s, our list of guiding values, starts with “Be Human.”
I look forward to the day when everyone around the world can experience the excitement and joy of truly barrier-free mobility. It is my hope, and the hope of everyone at avatarin, that we can help to create a world without limitations so that the generations that come after us can live and dream even more abundantly.
