Our Team

Manabu Nitta joined Nissho Electronics (now Sojitz Tech-Innovation) in 1998. Since then, he has taken on a wide range of roles in the network business domain—including business development, marketing, and product planning—for both service providers and enterprise customers.
From 2013, he spent three years stationed in Silicon Valley, where he led investments in partner companies, drove business expansion in the APAC market, and experienced a wide array of innovations firsthand. After returning to Japan, he introduced cutting-edge SaaS startup solutions such as New Relic and Zoom into the Japanese market—before the establishment of their local subsidiaries. Recognizing the growing complexity of IT environments in the multi-cloud era, he spearheaded the development of Sojitz Tech-Innovation’s original multi-cloud services and boldly took on the challenge of transforming the company’s business model.
Since 2022, Manabu has returned to Silicon Valley. Under his motto, “Make life more meaningful and fun through innovation!”, he continues to pursue not only leading-edge technologies but also the creation of new corporate value through open innovation and co-creation with customers.

Ryuki Kazami joined Nissho Electronics (now Sojitz Tech-Innovation) in 2018.
For seven years, he has been engaged in sales of service infrastructure, primarily targeting telecommunications and data center operators. His experience spans a broad spectrum—from network technologies (such as IP and OTN) to computing platforms (including data infrastructure and digital workplace solutions), and enterprise applications (like RPA).
In 2025, he was assigned to Sojitz Tech-Innovation USA as Marketing and Business Development Manager.
In this role, he is responsible not only for the areas handed over from his predecessor but also for developing new solutions for telecom operators—focusing on cutting-edge trends in networking and adjacent technology fields.
