It's been almost 45 years since I started my career as a consultant. As the world is undergoing a major transition, I believe it's important for Japan and the Japanese people, who have experienced ups and downs during that time, to "learn from the past and apply it to new values" in a mature environment.
Now is the time to act.
Together with ambitious people, we will build new value in a variety of fields and places.
[Profile]
I began my career as a consultant at Accenture. After going independent, I worked for a while at MI Consulting Group, where I focused on consulting and venture business creation, building a venture investment portfolio. I was then asked by the CEO of Topcon Corporation, a client I had consulted for, to serve as General Manager of the Eye Care Business Unit, where I globalized the business management and achieved a V-shaped recovery. I was also assigned to the United States, where I established a new base and established a strategic partnership with Microsoft. I returned to Japan in June 2024. In parallel with these activities, I played a major role in the launch and stabilization of the University of Tokyo EMP and ISL. I also served as a visiting professor at Ritsumeikan University's MBA program, a member of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Growth Strategy Council, and an advisor to various government committees and local governments. As a result, I have built a deep and wide network of connections across politics, industry, government, and academia, and I am adept at hosting drinking parties that bring together valuable people.
