Senior🎓
Top SchoolRick Cogley is a bilingual IT executive and founder based in Tokyo with over three decades of experience helping multinationals navigate IT reorganizations, ERP rollouts, compliance (ISO 27001, SOX, ITIL, COSO, JIS) and complex migrations. As CEO of eSolia he combines hands-on project management and interim IT leadership with a history as CIO and co-founder of PTS, driving training, operations and large Japan-localization programs. He has led cross-border initiatives for companies such as Mobil, Boston Scientific and UBS, often bridging English-Japanese gaps and tailoring global standards to local practice. Trained in biopharmacokinetics and with early experience in Fortran-driven research, he brings an analytical, data-minded approach to IT problems that few consultants can match. Outside work he codes, studies continuously for professional development, and credits a stint as a semi‑pro drummer and a Shiba named Maru for sharpening his discipline and creativity.
