The article said the Japan subsidiary had been established in 2019 and that his predecessor, Doron Levit (who remained chairman and chief executive of the Japan company), had led the launch of the Japan business. It listed Hirokawa's previous roles as Japan representative at Secureworks (now part of Sophos), Hortonworks (now part of Cloudera), Midokura, Red Hat and BEA Systems (now part of Oracle).[2] KELA's website lists him as "President & COO KELA Japan".[1] At the same briefing, according to ZDNET Japan, Hirokawa said KELA had used AI to search for a leader for its next stage of growth in Japan, and that he was one of three candidates.[2]
