Shota is a Business Designer at IDEO Tokyo. From early stage startups right through to research & development of established companies, Shota is most passionate in value creation by deeply understanding both the shift in user demand and innovation across technologies.
Before joining IDEO, Shota was in charge of business creation at one of the confidential projects at X, the moonshot factory of Alphabet. Prior to X, Shota worked in the Strategy and Sales divisions of Google within Asia. He also has his own personal experience with launching an educational service as a side project.
Shota holds a B.A. in Law from the University of Tokyo. He spent the first few years of his childhood in Guam, and you can still feel a sense of his tropical upbringing when he plays the guitar.
