Osamu Suzuki bergabung dengan perusahaan pada tahun 1958, tiga tahun setelah debut sepeda motor pertamanya, ColledaCOX 125cc 4-siklus, dan mobil Suzulight 360cc 2-siklus, yang membantu mengantarkan era kendaraan kecil di Jepang.
Selama lebih dari empat dekade kepemimpinannya, ia berhasil mengubah Suzuki dari produsen mobil kecil di Jepang menjadi pemain global yang signifikan.
Salah satu pencapaian terbesarnya adalah ekspansi ke pasar India melalui kemitraan dengan Maruti, yang menghasilkan dominasi pasar dengan pangsa sekitar 40%.
Dikenal karena gaya kepemimpinan yang hemat, Osamu Suzuki sering mengambil langkah-langkah penghematan biaya yang inovatif, seperti menurunkan plafon pabrik untuk mengurangi biaya pendinginan.
