I’ve always had the hope to contribute to Japan’s global presence in the corner of my mind, and that was when I landed on the world of innovation and venture at Stanford University. The power that diversity can have in building startups and new industries fascinated me. I am excited to be part of the acceleration of the venture ecosystem in Japan, and run alongside challenges growing beyond Japan to the world.
