“There is no place and time more suitable than the Berlin School to pursue my quest for creative leadership at this point in my life,” said Midori. “I’m a firm believer that true creative chemical reactions happen when creative minds from different cultures and backgrounds come together in a positive environment that invites new thoughts and ideas.”
