■ Comment from Chief Growth Officer (CGO) Kennosuke Tanaka
"I am deeply honored to join Anfini Inc. as CGO (Chief Growth Officer). The company's stance on value creation and taking on challenges plays a central role in enabling companies to continuously grow in this era of rapid change, and I feel a great sense of responsibility and potential in taking on a part of this.
Up to now, I have engaged with 'the growth of people and organizations' from both sides: as a management advisor in the business scene and through career research in the academic field. Based on career theory, particularly the perspective of the protean career, I have accumulated practices connecting individual autonomy with organizational strategy.
Going forward, I will leverage these insights to design and implement Anfini's growth strategy at a higher level. I will build a growth foundation that integrates strategy, data, and technology to enhance business scalability and reproducibility, while simultaneously promoting an integrated growth model of marketing, product, and organization driven by customer value.
The core of growth is 'people'. An organization where each individual proactively faces their own career and continues to take on challenges establishes a long-term competitive advantage. I will implement a 'Growth OS' that connects individual career autonomy with organizational strategy, and work to foster an organizational culture where challenges and learning circulate. By harmonizing people and organizations in co-creation, we will steadily advance toward a better future.
I will do my utmost as CGO to maximize Anfini's potential and achieve a trinity of sustainable growth where business, organization, and society are interlinked. I sincerely look forward to working with all the companies fully committed to creating the future in their respective fields through this new story of growth that begins here."
