Mr. Yamamoto who grew up and started a business overseas such as Asia and the United States
Rena Yamamoto (28), the president of HUPRO (Shibuya, Tokyo), which develops career support projects using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and algorithms. The company is expanding rapidly by developing a "fastest job change" service with an average matching period of 21 days for "professionals" such as tax accountants and lawyers, and business management departments, with a view to going public. "Young girl, are you okay?" She started a business in a career change service when she was at Keio University, but when she met a customer face-to-face, she was repeatedly told that she wasn't dealt with. She repeated trial and error, and she made full use of IT technology such as AI and found a way out. Under the new coronavirus, the flow changed when a non-face-to-face speed job change service was realized. Overcome the prejudices and biases of "young" and "female" and enter a rapid growth mode. It is said that Mr. Yamamoto's always positive personality was cultivated overseas.
She has lived abroad since she was 2 years old and she made her debut as a novelist at the age of 13.
The number of young employees is increasing every month.
She said, "She has lived abroad since she was two years old. She has tried everything while making mistakes." Mr. Yamamoto says: Her father is a trading company man. Her family traveled to Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore. She stayed for a long time in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. She didn't like her studies until she was in elementary school, and she wasn't confident in herself, but she got a reputation for writing novels. In 2007, she published "Evil Spirit Extermination! Trio", which she wrote when she was 13 years old. She made her novelist debut as a junior high school student. Her self-affirmation increased and she became the type to challenge anything. She was also the president of the student organization at a junior high school at the local Japanese school "JJS". She went to Keio Academy of New York in New York (NY), USA for the AO entrance exam, where she selects by writing and interviewing in high school. She is the only overseas integrated education school in Keio University, and although it is said that the tuition fee is high, she was provided with a scholarship. He also acquired English proficiency in the longed-for Keio NY and actively worked on everything. He participates in basketball, swimming, baseball club managers, and student associations. Immediately after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, a volunteer group was set up. He went to American families on Christmas, sang songs and solicited donations. The United States, where the issue of racial discrimination is constantly being talked about. There are many different races, but he recalls, "Many volunteers were supportive and warm Americans." He wanted to be a diplomat or a lawyer at the time. He went on to Keio University Faculty of Law as he wished. He traveled to Asia and the United States from an early age and finally returned to Japan. He must pass a difficult national examination to become a diplomat or lawyer. However, Mr. Yamamoto is not the type to stay in the room and study silently. He has always acted and his activities have been appreciated. This is the difference between Japan and overseas. While belonging to the basketball circle at university, he worked hard at the NPO "Dot JP", which works under politicians. So he set up a team to implement an internship program for embassies and toured embassies in nearly 50 countries, including Africa and the Middle East. It is difficult to balance internship and studying for exams. At a loss, he decided to reset again abroad and get serious about studying law and politics. He studied abroad at the University of Edinburgh in England for a year. He travels from Asia to the United States to Europe. He thought that a wide range of overseas experiences would be beneficial for breaking through difficult exams. The University of Edinburgh is a prestigious Scottish university that produced the inventor Graham Bell and others. However, he said, "I had lessons about four times a week, and I had a lot of time to spare." The assignments were not as hard as I had imagined, and I didn't feel a big difference from the lectures I was taking in Japan.
