Buyout

Managing Director(BO7 / BO8)

He graduated from the Faculty of Business and Commerce at Keio University and joined JAFCO in April 2005. In the Venture Investment Division, he invested in many venture and medium-sized companies and experienced IPO and trade sales. After being seconded to a securities company, he joined the Buyout Investments Division in 2010. He is involved in a wide range of projects from large-scale buyout investments to venture buyout investments, as well as various B2B, B2C and B2B2C projects.

In accordance with JAFCO's mission of “Committed to the Creation of New Businesses and Forging the Future Together,” I would like to replace “Creation of New Businesses” with “second start of companies” in buyout investments, and take over companies and businesses created by entrepreneurs and founders to become a partner for further growth of companies.
