Tokyo, October 1, 2018 --- MUFG is pleased to announce today that Professor Merit E. Janow, Dean of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, has joined its Global Advisory Board.

Ms. Janow gained experience in economic and trade matters as a policy maker and negotiator with Japan and China at the Office of the United States Trade Representative in the early 1990s. Subsequently, she has been a professor of international economic law and policy, teaching graduate courses on trade, antitrust and economic policy, and directing a program on global finance and economic policy at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, where she became Dean in 2013. From 2003 to 2007, she served as a member of the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as the first woman and was involved in resolving over 30 trade disputes among WTO members. Ms. Janow holds a J.D. degree from Columbia University School of Law in New York, NY.
