[Comment]
I believe that Timee is addressing the "unused time" dormant in society. I think there are very few companies worldwide that can connect this time to valuable experiences. I am convinced that there is great potential beyond just a gig work service. While taking responsibility for each outcome, I aim to nurture Timee into a foundation that supports the very cycle of "work" in society. I believe that this will realize true social infrastructure.
Executive Officer, Head of Marketing (CMO): Ryosuke Saito
[Biography]
Joined P&G in 1999, working for nine years in Japan and Singapore, then handled many strategic projects at McKinsey and Intel. At Riot Games, he was responsible for the Japan launch of games and the operation of Japan's first professional esports league. In 2018, he joined DeNA, overseeing the Strategic Marketing Division as a Group Executive. Subsequently, at SmartNews, he was responsible for marketing in public relations and advertising businesses in Japan and the US.
[Comment]
It is a great honor and a humbling experience to join Timee as CMO, aiming for its next leap forward after its overwhelming success in business and marketing. Timee has brought a significant impact to society by creating "working opportunities." Going forward, as a marketer, I will dedicate myself to strengthening customer understanding to create even greater impact, and to passing on my diverse experiences to younger generations to foster next-generation leaders.
Executive Officer, Head of Public Policy: Kana Nishikawa
[Biography]
Joined the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2005. For approximately 18 years, she was involved in policy planning and formulation, including revisions to the Labor Standards Act and the National Health Insurance Act, and special enrollment in workers' compensation insurance for freelancers, as well as coordination work for the enforcement of laws. During her tenure, she was involved in research on social security systems at the Ministry of Finance's Budget Bureau and employment measures at the Niigata Prefectural Department of Industry and Labor, engaging in coordination work for policy planning and implementation from both national and local perspectives. In September 2023, she joined Timee Inc. After serving as Head of Public Policy Department, she assumed her current position in May 2026. She strives to improve the business environment and realize a sound market environment through dialogue with internal and external stakeholders.
[Comment]
For spot work to take root in society and develop into a trusted system, harmony with legal frameworks and the realization of a sound market environment are indispensable. I will listen to diverse voices and strive to build careful relationships, addressing each issue to ensure that Timee becomes a social foundation chosen by workers and contributing to solving corporate challenges, thereby earning solid trust from society.
■ About Timee
Timee is a gig work service with the tagline "Adding color to work," which provides flexible work styles unrestricted by time or location by matching "times people want to work" with "times businesses want people to work." Workers can apply for jobs they want, work immediately without a resume or interview, and receive payment immediately after their shift ends. Businesses can set the required skills and desired working hours from as short as one hour, and the system automatically matches them with suitable workers. Timee aims to realize a "work-barrier-free" society where anyone, anytime, anywhere, and at any phase of life can reach for their own "work." Through encounters and experiences gained through "work," Timee will expand the possibilities in workers' lives and increase happy moments in the world.
