CATEGORIES:GLOBIS GROUP

Chiyoda-ku, TokyoOn April 1, 2021, GLOBIS Corporation established GLOBIS USA, Inc., based in San Francisco, California. This is GLOBIS’s first location in the Americas and an important step toward bringing the expertise of Japan’s No. 1 MBA to the global stage. Future business leaders will need diverse, expert knowledge to harness the power of technology and innovate in a new era of globalization–the era of Technovate.

GLOBIS USA will initially serve as a hub for corporate training programs and the GLOBIS Unlimited online learning platform. Eventually, Pre-MBA courses will also be offered both online and in person. The San Francisco location will also help support portfolio companies of GLOBIS Capital Partners, widening their reach as global ventures.

Serving as president of GLOBIS USA will be Tomoya Nakamura, former dean of GLOBIS University in Japan. The Board of Directors will include GLOBIS Corporation Managing Director Tomoko Kimijima and GLOBIS Digital Platform Director Alex Scharf.

GLOBIS USA marks an important step forward in the GLOBIS mission to support ecosystems of people, capital, and knowledge for a positive impact on the future of business. To date, over 170,000 students have completed GLOBIS courses, and over 1,120,000 have received corporate training. GLOBIS Capital Partners is a leading venture capital fund in Japan with a total AUM of over $1B. The next chapter in this legacy brings GLOBIS into a key market on the global stage.

On January 13, 2022, GLOBIS USA will host Creative Confidence for Startups, an online launch event featuring guest speaker Mr. Tom Kelley. As a partner at IDEO and founder and chairman at D4V, Mr. Kelley is a respected global authority on critical business skills such as storytelling and design thinking. In addition to a keynote speech, he will join GLOBIS USA President Tomoya Nakamura in a dialogue and address the audience in a Q&A. Details and sign-up information will be announced on GLOBIS USA’s official website nearer to the event.
