Entrepreneurship after Exit: NTT Data's take-over bid for Netyear Group

Join us for an engaging discussion of how the ecosystem of support for entrepreneurship is evolving in Japan, the rapid increases in the number of women who are engaging in entrepreneurship, and how digital transformation may open up even more opportunities for startups in Japan.  This session will also highlight the journey of growing a company to exit and then keeping it successful. There are not many people who can speak to the challenges of running a startup and then running a public company and we are very excited to have Ms. Fujiyo Ishiguro, Founder and CEO of Netyear Group who will share her experience.

After working at Brother Industries and Swarovski Japan, Ms. Ishiguro founded a high-tech specialty consulting firm in Silicon Valley and advised clients such as Yahoo!, Netscape, Panasonic, and Sony on US-Japan alliances and technology transfers. She is a founding member of Netyear Group in the US and Japan, devising comprehensive digital marketing solutions for corporate clients that resolve fundamental business issues as CEO. The company was listed on the Mothers section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2008. Ms. Ishiguro graduated the School of Economics at Nagoya University and received an MBA from Stanford University. She had been a member of Government committees for the past several years, such as the Cabinet Office “The future to choose” Committee and the METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) “IoT” Committee.

All seminars will be held online via Zoom, 4:30 PM – 5:50 PM, with informal networking following until about 6:30 PM (PST).  REGISTER below for the entire series*.
