STAFF INTRODUCTION
CEO
Soji
Nagano
Soji was born in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture. After graduating from Shinshu University, he moved to Australia to pursue a dual Masters degree in International Relations and Interpretation/Translation from Macquarie University. After returning to Japan, he joined HIS Markit, a British financial data company, thus beginning a career involved with global, IT data platforms.
After HIS Markit, Soji served as the Japan Country Manager for Cint AB, a global research platform from Sweden. In 2016, he was a founding member of Syno International, a company specialized in digital marketing solutions. In Syno, he served as the Managing Director of the company's Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam offices.
In 2021, Soji co-founded Koeeru Inc., serving as its Chief Design Officer in charge of the design, development, and implentation of Voice of Consumer (VOC) data platforms. From April 2023, Soji assumed the role of CEO of all Koeerü group companies.
COO
Michael
McDowell
After graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in International Relations, Michael moved to Japan to begin a career in English education. After teaching both at private language schools and at the university level, he left English language teaching in 2018 to join Syno International as a translator and marketer. Through his experience in both the Japanese and Singapore markets, he began to see the value of voice of consumer data and the impact that it can have both on clients and their customers.
In 2021 he co-founded Koeeru Inc., serving as its first CEO, in the belief that Koeerü’s technology can help overcome barriers in cross-cultural communication and in understanding the voices of minorities. As a COO of the company, he works to ensure that the company is on stable management and fiscal ground, while also representing the company when speaking to potential clients and partners outside of Japan.
