Kensuke Yoshida is a senior consultant and seasoned corporate investor with over 20 years in IT, digital marketing, and strategic M&A, most recently leading transformative telecom and contact-center deals at Mitsui and now advising Axiata. He combines hands-on deal execution—spearheading a US$400M tender offer and a merger that created Japan’s top contact center—with deep product and data-marketing expertise cultivated through investments in Drawbridge, Factual, and Zefr. His career includes six years in New York and two in Shanghai, giving him a proven edge in sourcing and localizing Western tech for Asian markets. Beyond dealmaking, he has built new ventures from scratch (e.g., Beaunet in China) and rescued revenue streams by orchestrating strategic partnerships such as the TAPAD integration. Active as an investor and board member across AI, data and martech startups, he blends corporate-scale strategy with startup agility. Based in Chiyoda, he pairs broad international networks with an uncommon willingness to lead both boardrooms and hands-on integrations.
