About
Has been involved in the venture industry since his student days; during the second venture boom, worked hard at a startup in its founding period aiming to innovate a legacy industry. Contributed to business growth and went independent in 2007. After devoting himself to launching several ventures, in 2011 joined a listed company offering HR-related services, where he was in charge of large-scale partnerships and new businesses. Centered on a new service used by millions of users, launched seven businesses in a year and a half and led business creation, including joint projects with startup companies. From 2012 launched that company's US subsidiary and, as President & CEO, carried out everything from opening the US branch to its initial operation, building many networks in Silicon Valley. After leaving his previous job, while supporting the launch of young Japanese startup founders, he formally joined GCPJ to increase the number of companies that can compete globally from Japan, making use of his wide network. Dropped out of the Faculty of Law, Waseda University.
