I'm an AI researcher with a Ph.D. who became a serial founder with two successful exits—Cirius/AdLocal (aquired by Yahoo! Japan) and Naked Technology (acquired by Mixi). I've built and scaled ventures from zero to acquisition, then founded Cinnamon AI and Nexus FrontierTech.
Today, I bridge AI research and business strategy, helping companies unlock business value through cognition-aware AI. My unique background combines cutting-edge research with real-world startup experience.

That is what separates computers and humans today. I believe that gap will close by 2029."
