Venture

Chief Capitalist

After graduating from the Faculty of Economics at Hitotsubashi University, she joined JAFCO in April 2005. She has been consistently engaged in venture investments. She has been a chief capitalist since April 2022.

I am mainly focusing on investment in deep tech and deep issue fields. The more difficult a problem is to solve, the more worthwhile it is to try. I would like to continue to work together with entrepreneurs who take on such challenges.
