I am truly honored to join Lazuli as CRO.

Lazuli, which provides product information powered by AI technology, is one of the few companies taking on head-on the essential challenge of strengthening corporate competitiveness through product data, and challenging industry transformation by leveraging AI technology. Drawing on the experience I have built up so far, I will do my utmost to deliver value to more customers in Japan and abroad and help realize sustainable growth.

After graduating from University of Central Oklahoma in the U.S., he worked at a major Japanese systems integrator before joining a general consulting firm and KPMG Consulting, where he spent more than eight years supporting numerous major companies in Japan and abroad in the fields of IT, operations, and strategy consulting.
In 2019, he joined UiPath, a leading AI/RPA company. As the business leader responsible for a broad range of customers in the Japanese market, from large enterprises to mid-sized and small companies, he was in charge of a wide range of responsibilities from sales strategy planning to execution, and contributed to building a high-growth organization from a point where there was no sales organization at all.
