Kenji Negi is a bilingual Japanese-American account executive with 8–10 years of commercial experience driving adtech monetization and channel partnerships across Japan and APAC. He currently leads media sales and DSP/SSP partner activation for Microsoft Advertising while also serving as a Japan culture and D&I lead, blending technical platform knowledge with people-first leadership. Previously he was the first local commercial hire for Xandr in Japan and managed large publisher portfolios at OpenX, giving him rare end-to-end perspective across buy-side and sell-side programmatic ecosystems. His background at Rakuten and HubSpot honed his skills in advertiser growth, cross-border e-commerce, and channel development, with measurable success scaling merchant ad spend and new-market leads. Comfortable navigating Japanese and international business contexts, he combines client-facing sales craft with product-aware technical fluency (interested in JS and C#), making him effective at translating platform capabilities into revenue. An early-career researcher and cross-cultural mentor, he often bridges teams and markets to create strategic opportunities beyond standard account management.
