Gaussy Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shingo Sakurai; hereinafter referred to as Gaussy) has revamped its management structure to respond to the rapid environmental changes in the logistics industry and further accelerate its own growth speed. We are pleased to announce the establishment of new positions for CSO (Chief Strategy Officer), CBO (Chief Business Officer), and CFO (Chief Financial Officer), transitioning to a CxO system.

1. Background and Objectives of the New Management Structure

In logistics and manufacturing sites, automation needs for labor saving and productivity improvement are rapidly increasing due to severe labor shortages and rising labor costs. The introduction of logistics robots, which was previously concentrated among large corporations, is now expanding to small and medium-sized enterprises with the advancement of AI and robotics technology.

Amidst these changes, Gaussy has been supporting the automation of logistics sites through its "Roboware" logistics robot service since its founding in 2022. On the other hand, we have determined that to further accelerate the social implementation of logistics tech, it is necessary to transition from the CEO-led management structure of the startup phase to a growth phase where management personnel with specialized expertise make decisions in their respective domains.

Under the new management structure, we will establish CSO, CBO, and CFO positions to expedite decision-making and strengthen business momentum in the rapidly changing logistics tech market. This will further enhance the value provided to customers and contribute to logistics transformation as social infrastructure supporting Japanese logistics.
