辞职为孩子而奋斗的银行家建立了11万顾问的帝国 - 彭博社

桥场英子来源：VisasQ Inc.桥场英子于2002年在东京离开高盛集团，23岁时生下了一个孩子。

为了照顾婴儿而不得不辞职，让她思考为什么在日本没有更多灵活的方式让女性在生育后继续工作，而不是离开职场。

十年后，当她共同创办VisasQ Inc.时，这个问题仍然萦绕在她心头。VisasQ提供的专家建议和咨询服务与麦肯锡公司类似。不同之处在于，它的顾问并不在公司内部工作：他们是外部顾问。

“我在职业生涯的早期阶段生下了孩子，我希望有一种无论如何都能继续的工作，”桥场英子，VisasQ的首席执行官，在一次采访中说道。VisasQ是“一个提升个人工作能力的服务。”

自3月在东京证券交易所上市以来，VisasQ的股票上涨了95%。这一激增使公司的市值达到了约2.38亿美元，并使持有52%股份的桥场英子成为了百万富翁。

来自各行各业的人士在VisasQ注册为顾问，并为寻求他们专业知识的客户提供咨询服务。根据桥场英子的说法，VisasQ拥有超过110,000名注册顾问。

“作为一名职场妈妈的经历让我意识到，会有一些人希望作为独立顾问工作，”桥场英子说道。

Hashiba 是日本公司中少数女性首席执行官之一。根据彭博社汇编的数据，在披露信息的 2,076 家上市公司中，只有 11 家，即不到 1%，在上一个财年有女性担任首席执行官。

女性首席执行官

Hashiba 回忆说，在公司早期历史中，风险投资高管曾质疑她作为女性能否在首席执行官角色中成功。他们说成功率很低，这激励她证明他们是错的。

Hashiba 于 2001 年毕业于著名的东京大学后加入高盛。她在银行工作了一年后辞职，去照顾她的宝宝。后来，她在欧莱雅和日本私募股权公司 Unison Capital Inc. 工作，之后创办了 VisasQ。

VisasQ 希望利用日本日益增长的退休人员队伍——以及其他人——来增加注册顾问的数量，目标是达到数百万。根据政府 数据，该国 65 岁及以上的人口超过 3600 万。

Yukio Terakawa，Yanmar Holdings Co. 的一个部门负责人，表示他计划在退休后继续担任 VisasQ 顾问。

“作为一名‘上班族’所花费的所有岁月并不是白费的，”Terakawa 说。“我希望继续使用这个服务，因为这对我退休后的生活会有好处。”

在三菱电机工作的 Daichi Mamada 使用 VisasQ 的咨询服务来获取某个细分市场的情报。

价值高

“它的价值很高；我可以获得很多信息和知识，”他说。“咨询服务让我能够直接接触到我自己无法接触的人。顾问分享了很多一手信息。”

资深投资者秋野光重发出了谨慎的声音。他表示，现在还为时已晚，无法判断是否应该投资该股票。

“这个业务需要更多时间来验证模型，”秋野说，他是市佳资产管理公司的高级执行官。“我们还不知道使用该服务的公司是否真的会从提供的建议中受益。目前，人们在模糊的理解下购买该股票，认为他们会受益。”

购买行为推高了估值。根据彭博社汇编的数据，VisasQ的市盈率约为426倍。该公司预测截至2月的财年收入将增长42%，达到14亿日元（1320万美元），但表示由于激进投资，利润应会下降。

VisasQ 成立了一个子公司在新加坡，打算将其作为扩展海外的基地。Hashiba计划将公司的现有日本顾问群体与外国客户连接，同时还扩大顾问池，包括来自其他亚洲国家的顾问。

波动的股票

“如果服务效果不佳，客户会流失，”秋野说，他预计短期内股票会波动。“因为我们还不知道，会有一些日子，股票在高期望下被购买。”

Hashiba表示她尽量不去担心股价波动，而是更专注于公司的长期发展。

“我们正处于增长的初期阶段，”她说。“我们的梦想是让每一个努力工作的人，甚至那些有经验但目前没有全职工作的人，都能在VisasQ上注册。”

星巴克公司的首席执行官更换预计将使这家咖啡连锁店至少损失1.2亿美元，甚至更多，因为董事会寄希望于通过领导层的变更来扭转业务。

Brian Niccol将于下个月开始，薪酬方案价值1.13亿美元，其中很大一部分是股权，以替代他之前雇主的奖励，他将不得不放弃这些奖励，依据文件显示。

这一薪酬方案可能使他成为美国薪酬最高的首席执行官之一，但这一变更立即带来了公司股价的回报。在公告后，星巴克的股价飙升了25%，创下历史新高，市值增加了214亿美元。

另一个让Niccol感到满意的好处是：他 不需要搬到咖啡连锁店在西雅图的总部，尽管他的主要办公室将在那里。星巴克在加利福尼亚为他设立了一个远程办公室，他将通勤到西雅图并根据需要出差。

Narasimhan即将以780万美元的遣散费离职。他还将获得当前财政年度的按比例计算的年度奖金，假设他达到了支撑支付的业绩目标，这笔奖金可能约为200万美元。

在他离职的当天，他仍持有价值数百万美元的股权奖励，截至周二收盘，这些奖励计划在未来几年内归属，其中一些取决于业绩。星巴克的监管文件没有具体说明这些奖励将会如何处理，公司发言人拒绝对此发表评论。

如果公共公司高管在没有正当理由的情况下被解雇，通常会至少获得未归属股票奖励的部分支付。

Narasimhan在星巴克的任期不到两年，他是由舒尔茨从消费品制造商 Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc 精心挑选的。Niccol自2018年以来一直领导Chipotle。他将在9月9日开始在星巴克工作。
