Creating the future of finance with technology and community. Trust Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Trust"), which has the mission of "Creating the future of finance with technology and community," announces that two new executive officers have been appointed as follows, with the aim of further business growth and strengthening its management system.
New Executive Officers
Eiko Arakawa
After approximately 20 years of distinguished service as a core talent at Accenture, where she led numerous large-scale projects as a Managing Director, she subsequently joined Trust.
She has a wealth of experience in global cross-border strategic projects, IT upstream process design, BPO, and business process reform, having led projects in collaboration with overseas delivery bases for many years across a wide range of industries including megabanks, major insurance companies, and manufacturing. This includes building and promoting offshore development systems with China (major semiconductor/securities firms), the Philippines (major non-life insurance), and India (megabanks), as well as successfully leading consulting projects (two megabanks) in collaboration with Spain and India.
Furthermore, she has earned high international acclaim, including delivering lectures at the Temenos Regional Forum (Tokyo) targeting executives and senior management of banks from various Asian countries.
Kensuke Takashima
Prior to his current role, he worked at a major Japanese insurance-related SIer and a leading consulting firm. He has primarily been engaged in large-scale project management in the financial industry, particularly in insurance.
His customer-first approach and consulting skills are highly valued, earning him deep trust from clients.
His strength lies in his ability to quickly grasp new areas with his inherent proactivity and communication skills. He is an all-round consultant with extensive project experience in areas such as IT governance support, product development, and data utilization.
Statement on Appointment
Eiko Arakawa
"I am Eiko Arakawa, and I have been appointed as an executive officer. I am very pleased to be able to contribute to providing solutions for overseas bases of Japanese companies as an executive officer of Trust Co., Ltd., a dynamic company."
Offshore operations, which have been promoted over the past decade, are becoming increasingly difficult due to rising FX rates and COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment). Meanwhile, against the backdrop of a shortage of engineers in Japan, companies are being forced to promote efficiency and optimization through AI, review onshore-offshore ratios, and reduce costs by standardizing operations and systems.
Leveraging my delivery experience with overseas bases (Europe, US, China, India, Philippines, etc.) and collaboration experience with overseas package vendors cultivated in my previous role, I will combine them with Trust's AI technology to provide higher quality services and solutions, thereby contributing to clients' global IT strategies.
Kensuke Takashima
"I am Kensuke Takashima, and I have been appointed as an executive officer."
"Through consulting and numerous project management experiences in the financial industry, I have supported clients' transformations. I am convinced that our role in the turbulent financial environment should not be limited to mere technology provision, but rather lies in a 'multi-faceted approach' that identifies and resolves fundamental issues."
"The key to our company's further leap forward lies in evolving into an organization where our AI and data business and IT consulting business intersect and knowledge resonates. Leveraging my past experiences, I will build a strong organizational foundation and, as a united team, deliver highly effective business value to our clients."
"I feel a sense of responsibility with this new challenge, and I will do my utmost to meet everyone's expectations and forge the future together. I look forward to your continued support."
Future Outlook
With the participation of these new executive officers, Trust will aim to strengthen its strategic driving force in the global domain and further enhance its support for DX and business reform in the financial industry.
Moving forward, we will accelerate our corporate growth through innovative strategies and technologies, aiming to become a company that contributes to society.
