Japan CEO @ Tanka

About

I lead Tanka AI in Japan — building the operating base for the AI-Native era. A business leader with 20+ years across semiconductor, smart hardware, and AI SaaS, I help Japanese teams and enterprises scale intelligence, not headcount.Before Tanka, I built Evoto AI's Japan business (株式会社Truesight Japan) from the ground up as founding CEO — establishing the local entity, defining go-to-market, and driving early product-market fit and enterprise customer acquisition across consecutive years of growth.My focus spans Japan market entry, go-to-market strategy, enterprise sales, and P&L management — aligning global products with local market needs. Based in Tokyo, always glad to connect with people building AI-native organizations in Japan.
