Message from CEO

I am pleased to announce my appointment as President & CEO of ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC), effective April 1, 2024.

Since its establishment in 1972, CTC has achieved significant growth while meeting the expectations of our customers and society. I have also witnessed CTC's progress through my engagement in the ICT-related business at ITOCHU Corporation, and I would like to express my deep appreciation for the patronage and support of everyone, including our valued customers and predecessors, who have made it possible for us to take this new step forward. I am committed to fulfilling my role as the head of CTC and striving for further growth, and I would like to ask for your continued guidance and encouragement in this endeavor.

The world is faced with many problems, and it is becoming increasingly unavoidable for companies to address such social issues. I believed that it will significantly dictate the future course of our growth whether or not we can strengthen our management structure to generate revenue by expanding businesses that lead to solving these issues.

In order to achieve the above, we will anew promote business efficiency improvement and cost optimization with IT, and actively invest in growth areas, aiming for a streamlined and lean organization and well-defined management.

On top of that, we will further advance our solutions with AI, enhance our expertise on cutting-edge technologies and deepen our core business areas including cloud-native technologies, while further strengthening our technological capabilities. As CTC builds up a track record of successful projects that leverage our strength of technological capabilities, it will further enhance our presence and brand value as an IT partner to customer companies, leading to expansion of our human resources and, ultimately, further enhancement of our technological capabilities.

By creating such a positive spiral, we aim to grow into a company that can play an even greater role in our society.
