In this episode we're joined by Ryuta Hosaka. After a decade in Seattle leading teams in the data and marketing analytics space, Ryuta is back in Japan and leading the new market launch for Slalom in Japan. In this conversation Ryuta walks us through the transition from the Cloud Capital back to Tokyo and his two theories that; Digital Transformation is really a transformation of the mind and the great opportunities that lie in rediscovering "Craftsmanship (Monozukuri) Culture" in modern software engineering. The only thing that surpasses Ryuta's passions for technology, is his passion for people.
I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did and please remember to share your feedback with me on your favourite social media platform.
