New President’s message
I have gained extensive experience working with Japanese and international companies of various sizes and industries, from startups with around ten employees to foreign corporations launching their Japanese operations.
I have long worked in the tech industry, and in my latest position at Google, I focused on female participation, DEI promotion, work style reform, startup support, re-skilling, and AI-capable talent development. I have been committed to addressing Japan’s social issues related to work style and human resources, particularly in growth sectors, for over a decade.
Based on these experiences, I believe that regardless of the advancements in technology, such as the internet and AI, the strong will of the individual and the passion for taking on new challenges will always drive social transformation and open the way to the future.
We will enter a period where the way we work changes significantly in Japan and globally. Each of us must reevaluate the meaning of work, and how we contribute to society by taking on challenges will become more important.
In this era, our goal is to become a true partner that supports the challenges of global businesses and talent. We aim to assist both sides in realizing their future vision, in line with en group’s core value of promoting post-hire success and en world’s mission of enabling success.
