Business Development
Corporate Officer / Business Development Division
Partner（SV6）
He joined JAFCO in April 1992. Since then, he has been consistently engaged in investment exit activities on the front line, involved in a wide variety of projects ranging from start-up investments to buyout type investments, and handled not only IPO but also many capital tie-ups with large companies and M&A deals. Currently, he oversees a division that specializes in increasing the value of portfolio companies and works to refine JAFCO's status as a venture capital company. He has been a partner since March 2018 and in charge of Chief Officer in charge of Business Development since June 2022.
As a true partner that is considered “reliable” by courageous entrepreneurs, I would like to work together with portfolio companies to create new value that has yet to be seen by firmly leveraging both “businesses” and “people.”
