She ranked 37th, becoming the only Japanese national to make the top 50 of the influential U. S. economic magazine. Nakamitsu «has a reputation for clearheaded pragmatism,» Brian Finlay, chief executive officer the Stimson Center, said. «Her diplomatic skills have been tested by the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but her quiet activism has helped prevent runaway conflict across the region,» the think tank head pointed out.
