Summary
Shotaro Aono is a product-focused technology leader with 9 years of experience building and scaling digital services across government, consulting, and consumer internet companies in Tokyo. Currently a Product Manager at Japan’s Digital Agency, he blends hands-on engineering roots from Yahoo! JAPAN and Smart Kitchen with product strategy honed at BayCurrent Consulting, where he supported multiple new business launches including food delivery and HR services. He has led engineering teams, managed mobile development, and driven growth-stage initiatives, comfortable bridging technical execution and stakeholder-facing product decisions.
