STAFF INTRODUCTION

CEO
Michael
Gregory
McDowell
Michael has always been interested in crossing borders. From a childhood in Arizona, USA, spent pouring over National Geographic magazines, to a degree in International Relations at the University of Southern California, his first act after leaving school was to move to Japan.
Through a career in English and university education, as well as experiences in marketing technology and a life spent overseas, he co-founded Koeerü Inc. in 2021 in the belief that technology can help overcome barriers in cross-cultural communication and in understanding the voices of minorities.
As CEO of the company, he strives to design customer data platforms that empower the unvoiced through self-motivation and solve social issues through better understanding.
