02 / ABOUT

Thinking about change
from the front line.

Shigeo Kagami

Starting as an engineer, I have built a career across global IT companies and Japanese operating companies. Experience in technology and business at VMware, Microsoft, and AWS has informed my work on digital and organizational transformation at Dwango, KADOKAWA, MUFG Bank, JTB, and Sugi Pharmacy. At GovTech Tokyo, I also worked on transformation in the public sector.

On my blog, I share practical insights for people pursuing DX in Japan, looking beyond technology to organizations, people, and ways of working.
