Background Summary My career began in auditing, but during a two-year period of independent horse racing analysis, I encountered data science and discovered my passion for it. This experience led me to pursue a role as a data scientist, particularly interested in how data science can drive value in business contexts. Motivated by this interest, I joined MUFG to explore the intersection of data science and financial services—a traditional and highly data-driven industry. My work has included cross-functional roles and active participation in upstream project planning. Recognition in MUFG’s 2024 New Business Creation Program (Audience Award winner) led to a new opportunity in 2025, where I now drive business agility and strategic planning from within a core planning division.
