He is the younger brother of Sir Howard Stringer, who was Chairman and CEO of Sony Corporation until April 2012, when he was replaced by Kazuo Hirai.[3] Although he is not Jewish, he was awarded the UJA-Federation of New York’s Music Visionary of the Year Award in 2013.[4]

In a tongue-in-cheek video that played at the start of the luncheon, his daughters remind him he had only a month to go until the UJA-Federation event, so he should “know more about the Jewish faith.” In response, Stringer gets a “live-in rabbi” with whom he peruses Judaism for Dummies and studies Talmud."
