Dallas, TX, October 30, 2023 – Mohr Partners, Inc., a commercial real estate advisory & outsourcing firm, and its Chairman & CEO Robert Shibuya are proud to present a collaborative video that delves into the background of the tenets that drive the company’s mission.
The production highlights the influence of Shibuya’s father, Robert Kinji Shibuya, and how Kinji’s values of respect, determination and cultural inclusion have been instrumental in shaping Mohr Partners’ core principles as one of the largest certified Minority Business Enterprises in commercial real estate.
“Mohr Partners’ commitment to diversity and inclusion is deeply rooted in the beliefs I inherited from my father,” Robert Shibuya said. “With this video, we aim to shed light on the importance of respecting all individuals, remaining determined in our endeavors and fostering a diverse and inclusive corporate culture.”
Premiered on October 23 at the 2023 National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference & Exchange, the video is the result of a remarkable partnership.
Michele Shibuya, Mohr Partners’ Chief Operating Officer and Robert’s wife, attended in July the NMSDC Kellogg Advanced Management Executive Program (AMEP). This event, directed by supplier diversity expert and pioneer James H. Lowry, is a four-day immersive program that fosters growth for minority-owned businesses.
There, she met with Joseph Patton of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, who shared Robert Shibuya’s story with other attendees at the AMEP.
Struck by the impact of Kinji Shibuya’s story as a professional wrestler who graciously and honorably raised a family in California, Patton and Michele Shibuya decided to collaborate to share the message to a wider audience.
Patton provided the narration to the video and asked Shezad and Hussain Manjee of DHD Films, fellow AMEP alumni, to animate and produce it.
“The partnership between Joseph Patton, Jim Lowry, the NMSDC Kellogg AMEP and Shezad and Hussain Manjee of DHD Films has given us the opportunity to convey our values and commitment to diversity in a unique and impactful way,” Michele Shibuya said. “It’s a testament to what we can achieve through collaboration.”
