Yosuke Katada is a data scientist-turned-founder and CEO with 12 years of cross-disciplinary experience in finance, consulting, product development and marketing, now leading PeopleDot after securing seed and Series A funding. He combines hands-on analytics expertise (Python, R, SAS, Hadoop, Spark, SQL, Tableau) with product instincts—running a six-month intensive data science bootcamp and shipping recommendation and A/B testing solutions that materially increased engagement. His background spans building financial simulation models at Deloitte, optimizing recommendation and push-notification algorithms that doubled click rates, and prototyping health-sensing apps using smartphone cameras and chaos analysis. Comfortable moving between strategy and implementation, he has repeatedly translated complex statistical methods into operational improvements and commercial products. Based in Yokohama, he pairs rigorous academic training (MS in Analytics, Hitotsubashi University) with entrepreneurial grit and a knack for turning analytics into measurable business outcomes. An uncommon strength is his experience scaling talent—designing and running practical training programs that accelerate professional data scientists into production-ready contributors.
