He is responsible for NEC’s worldwide research laboratories located in the US, Germany, China, Singapore, Israel, India, and Japan. As the CTO, he is also responsible for the company’s technology innovation strategy and investment management of the company’s technologies and intellectual properties.

To accelerate open innovations activities, he established NEC Israel Research Center in 2016 and NEC Laboratories India in 2018.
He has built his carrier in NEC through a business division, a product development division and laboratories. He received his Master of Science degree in Electrical Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, and Bachelor of Science degree in mathematical engineering and information physics from the University of Tokyo.
