I am working closely with senior management to create structures and organizations that will enable portfolio companies to grow sustainably. I have always been aware of the “three actuals”: the actual site, the actual object, and the actual situation. Without limiting it as a mere theory, I have sincerely confronted on-site situations at portfolio companies, as a director in charge of management at graniph and Nagano Kogyo.
I am responsible for investments in a wide range of industries, including services, manufacturing and retail. Since joining the company in 2007, I have been involved with a total of 10 companies, including:
Club Tourism International (travel agency), ARPEGE (ladies’ apparel), Meiko Shokai (office equipment manufacturer), Ashikaga Bank (financial institution), Payroll (BPO service), graniph (casual apparel), Nagano Kogyo (construction machinery manufacturer, now Tadano Utilities), KANETAYA KAGUTEN (furniture retailer).
