Yoshiro has more than 20 years of experience leading management consulting engagements for insurers and other financial services (FS) institutions across Japan, Australia, the US and Southeast Asia. He has advised and assisted insurers and other FS clients with a variety of management agendas, from business growth with new products and services, insurtech investments, digitalization, and M&A through to customer experience, operational efficiency, integration and separation, and transformation design.
