Messages from the newly appointed Executive Officers
Tomoyuki Ota (Uzabase Executive Officer, Head of Business Development) 
In order to achieve our Mission and guide business people to insights that truly change the world, we intend to not only expand our existing services and launch new businesses, but also collaborate with other companies, engage in M&As, and find future business partners through minority investments. In addition to my previous experience in investment banking, I am looking to leverage my business management, acquisition, and PMI experience at Uzabase to contribute to the achievement of the company’s 30% annual growth target through M&A deals and other opportunities for dynamic growth, as well as to contribute to the enhancement of Uzabase’s corporate value.

Momoko Segi (FORCAS Company Executive Officer, Chief Customer Officer)
At FORCAS, we strongly believe in the culture of “co-creation”. As a product manager, I am very much looking forward to working together with our users to drive the continued growth and evolution of FORCAS. My goal is to leverage my previous experiences to bring a new product-driven focus to the role of FORCAS CCO.

Yuya Yoshida (FORCAS Company Executive Officer, Head of Commercial Sales & Customer Success)
I believe that FORCAS is on the brink of a major transformation. As such, it is absolutely crucial that we maximize the value we provide by refining our products through “co-creation” with our customers and partners. My goal is to build a system that will enable us to deliver this value as quickly as possible and to provide solutions to our customers' problems through the power of data and technology.
