I feel very blessed to have been able to support the growth of the tech industry and startups throughout my career.
In the early days of Line, I was in charge of strategies and business development for various verticals such as social, content, fintech, AI, and AR in countries such as Indonesia, the UK, and Japan, and I was fascinated by the great impact that new technologies/services could have on the world. In addition, while overseeing startup support programs including the 'Window Program' at Google Play, I learned the meaningful process of growing together with early-stage startups.
My heart often races when I hear stories of underdogs' dreams, and one of my greatest pleasures is staying up all night talking about tech while drinking craft beer.
