William Sposato has been active in the Japanese market for more than 20 years and is currently a writer, consultant and a regular contributor to Foreign Policy magazine. His area of specialization includes economics, corporate issues and regional diplomacy. Sposato first came to Japan in 1996 as the bureau chief of Reuters, a time when Japan was largely stuck in the myth that the collapse of the Bubble Economy in 1990 was just a temporary downturn that would soon right itself. Instead, as chronicled by the Reuters team, it was just the first phase of a national economic restructuring that was soon dubbed the lost decade, and then the lost two decades. He also served as deputy bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires, in charge of spot news and macroeconomic and markets news coverage. Story coverage included the March 11, 2011, earthquake tsunami and nuclear crisis in northern Japan. He also supervised the coverage of meetings of The IMF/World Bank and the Yokohama summit meeting of leaders from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group of nations. Outside of Japan, Sposato served from 2002-2004 as the Reuters Editor for South Asia, based in Mumbai, India, and responsible for the news bureaus in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. He has spent much of his career in his native New York. At CBS News, he was a radio producer, writer and editor for network news broadcasts and then moved to Reuters, where he was business editor, New York chief correspondent, regional chief correspondent for the East and later New York bureau chief. Story coverage included the stock market crash of 1987 and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, which would foreshadow the destruction of the twin towers in 2001 Collision Course: Carlos Ghosn and the Culture Wars That Upended an Auto Empire, co-authored with Hans Greimel, is his first book.
