Cambridge Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Co-CEOs: Nagi Hatashita, Hiroaki Ozawa), which provides IT consulting and SES services, is pleased to announce a new management structure with Hiroaki Ozawa, who comes from the recruitment industry, taking office as Representative Director. By combining the 'individual mindset' with 'organizational structure,' we are strengthening a system where engineers are evaluated fairly.
As the first step, in March 2026, we introduced the online learning platform 'Udemy™' fully at the company's expense. This will further accelerate the development of an environment where engineers can autonomously carve out their careers.
1. The Aim of the New Structure: A Team of 'Structure' and 'People' Professionals
Hatashita, who comes from a major consulting firm and specializes in 'optimizing organizational structure,' and Ozawa, who has faced 'individual careers and mindsets' on the front lines of recruitment. By serving as co-CEOs, these two will solve the structural issue unique to the SES industry where 'people who work hard are not fairly evaluated.' We will drive the improvement of engineers' market value through the dual wheels of a 'high-return, upstream process' project selection system that engineers can agree with, and mindset support that encourages autonomous growth.
2. The Philosophy of 'No Need to Make Us Your Final Destination'
The biggest feature of our company is that we do not tie engineers down to the company. Starting from the individual's ideal of 'what skills I want to improve' and 'how much income I want to aim for,' we also respect them taking flight to the next stage using the experience gained here as a weapon. We pursue a state of being a 'platform' where the company and engineers are on equal footing and provide value to each other.
3. Background to Introducing the 'Udemy™' Benefit: Accumulating Small Success Experiences
Having a 'growth mindset' to learn independently and output in the field even under an SES environment is essential for modern career building.
Fully funded by the company: Freely acquire the latest technology and consulting skills from tens of thousands of courses.
Purpose: Accumulate 'small success experiences' through learning, aiming for a state where engineers can control their careers by their own will.
Comments from Representative Director Ozawa
'I have seen many gaps in the field in Japan and overseas where people who are seriously producing results are not evaluated fairly due to structural deficiencies. On the other hand, my co-representative, Hatashita, is a professional at changing 'systems' as a consultant.
What we aim for is an environment where engineers can work with a 'sense of satisfaction.' This 'sense of satisfaction' does not simply mean high compensation. It means realizing one's own growth through daily work and having the freedom to choose one's career by one's own will. We believe that is the true value for an engineer.
You do not need to make our company your final destination. We want to be a single, high-quality option named [Cambridge Consulting] in an engineer's life. The introduction of 'Udemy™' this month is part of that, but this is not the end. We promise to continue building systems with a sense of speed that allow for greater growth and a better working environment while listening directly to the voices of engineers.'
[Future Outlook: An Organization That Shapes the Voices of Engineers]
Starting with the introduction of 'Udemy™,' we will accelerate the creation of an environment that reflects the voices of each engineer. We will expand skill improvement support and pursue flexible working styles.
