Yuichi Kono

I am a legal and compliance professional at Marubeni Corporation, where I focus on enabling sustainable business growth through strategic risk management, governance, and forward-looking legal advisory. At Marubeni—a global trading and investment company operating across diverse industries—I work at the intersection of law, business strategy, and global operations. My role goes beyond traditional legal support: I help shape business decisions by identifying opportunities, mitigating risks, and strengthening compliance frameworks in an increasingly complex regulatory and geopolitical environment. Within the Legal & Compliance Division, I have been involved in initiatives that enhance organizational resilience, strengthen corporate governance, and promote a culture of integrity across international operations. I am particularly interested in: - Building proactive compliance systems that support business innovation - Driving cross-border legal alignment in global projects - Advancing risk-based decision-making at the management level - Leveraging legal expertise to create long-term enterprise value I believe that the role of legal professionals is evolving—from guardians of compliance to strategic partners who enable responsible growth and transformation. By collaborating closely with business teams, I strive to deliver practical, business-oriented legal solutions that contribute to Marubeni’s continued leadership as a trusted global partner. I am always open to connecting with professionals who are passionate about global business, governance, and the future of legal & compliance.
