Monstarlab (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroki Inagawa), an 'AI & Digital Partner' that supports enterprise transformation and value creation through AI and digital power, will establish the 'AI Product & Transformation Office' to lead its AI-based product business and the 'Human Intelligence Lab' to redefine the value and roles of human talent, starting April 1, 2026. By simultaneously promoting business creation and organizational strengthening, the company aims to establish a foundation for sustainable business growth.
In addition, Monstarlab announces the appointment of Aiki Kato as VP, Head of AI Product & Transformation Office, and Natsu Kawakita as VP of Strategy & Design and Human Intelligence Lab Lead, as the executive officers leading these departments.
■ Background of Department Establishment
After a period of structural reform since 2024, the company has improved its financial position and is now moving into a sustainable growth phase.
In December 2025, the company formulated a new global brand message: 'AI & Digital Partners, Unlocking Human Potential.' As AI utilization transitions from 'demonstration' to 'implementation,' Monstarlab is at a stage where it must strengthen its role as a true partner supporting everything from strategy to development and operations.
To further accelerate this growth, the company is establishing these two new departments to simultaneously drive business creation and organizational strengthening.
■ About the New Departments
AI Product & Transformation Office
This department integrally promotes the creation of AI-driven product and solution businesses and the AI transformation of both clients and the company itself. It will lead the growth of digital consulting and product development using AI while serving as the core function for Monstarlab to evolve into an 'AI-native' organization.
Human Intelligence Lab
This dedicated department explores and strengthens human-specific intelligence, thinking, and value creation in contrast to AI. As automation accelerates across all tasks due to AI advancements, the answer to 'what humans should do' becomes the source of competitive advantage. This department aims to redefine 'human value' for Monstarlab and establish a resilient organizational structure through the redesign of talent and roles, and the provision of learning environments.
