How do you envision the future?

Drawing on my executive experience at multiple global companies—including those based in Silicon Valley—
I have consistently integrated cutting-edge technologies into business.
My goal is not to treat technology as a mere “tool,” but rather to harness its power as a transformative force
that reshapes society and unleashes people’s creativity.
In this era of rapid change, I believe there is deep value in continually taking on new challenges across a wide range of fields
—business, government, education, and beyond. Connecting Japan to the world to build a sustainable,
abundant society is my vision. Leveraging forward-thinking technological capabilities and a global network,
I collaborate with industry, government, academia, and overseas partners to transform innovative ideas into tangible value.
And I continue to push forward, pursuing these endeavors every day.

About Me

Technology only creates real value when it converges with human imagination.

I believe that by embracing change and continuing to take on challenges, anyone can create a new future.
I look at advanced technologies like AI, the Metaverse, and Web3 not just as “tools”
but as potent forces capable of transforming society.
Building on the global network and leadership experience I’ve cultivated,
I want to turn the rapid changes of our time into opportunities, creating innovations that link Japan and the world.
