House Of The Rising Suntory

THE HOUSE OF SUNTORY is a gathering of the best Japanese artisans, crafting world-class spirits, inspired by Japanese nature and mastered with Japanese craft; and is home to appellations like Yamazaki, Hakushu, Chita and Hibiki as well as Suntory Whisky Toki, Roku Gin and Haku Vodka, its premium offerings. James Bowker serves as Global Advocacy Manager for this esteemed House. After a long career in hospitality, his passion with Japanese brands ignited when he was running his own bars across Europe and Japan. Bowker’s favourite memories include an apprenticeship at Bar High Five in Tokyo, during which he tasted his 250th Japanese whisky, a journey that continues to this day.

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
