After working in the Investment Division, he was seconded to NOMURA/JAFCO INVESTMENT (ASIA) (at that time) and experienced investing in advanced startups in Asia. He then worked in the Asian Team of the current Business Development Division, promoting business development between portfolio companies in Asia and major corporations in Japan, and serving as a team leader and General Manager (both at that time).

He is in charge of fund solicitation and investor relations (IR) for investors, particularly focusing on building relationships between domestic investors and portfolio companies with a view to strategic alliances.
Creating new value created by invested startups in collaboration with fund investors and many stakeholders will lead to the realization of our Purpose. I am working on my daily business with this belief in mind. Outside of work, I enjoy nature and various activities. I think I am an outdoor person at heart.
