​For our upcoming Growth Hub session, we’re privileged to have Tetsuya Akisada from NTT East Japan leading the feedback on pitching.

Akisada-san has a strong background in consulting and solution sales, with hands-on experience in both business development and planning. He’s worked with local governments, healthcare institutions, and large enterprises, and was recognized as a top performer in sales in 2024, ranking second company-wide. From 2018 to 2020, he held dual leadership roles as Head of Back Office Operations and Chief Information Security Officer. He excels at improving sales pitches and providing strategic advice.

​Francisco, our moderator and founder of the Tokyo Startup Lunch Club, will provide translation and interpretation.

​This is a rare chance to immerse yourself in the real-world complexity of Japanese business communication. Expect to get your hands dirty, challenge your assumptions, and come away with a genuine reality check.
