In this episode we reconnect with our very first guest, Tim Romero, who brought his insights from the world of startups.
Today we have him back for a fascinating chat covering a range of topics including changing receptivity to innovation and collaboration amongst industry and government in Japan, as well as touching upon the hot topic of digital transformation.
At the time of talking to Tim he is about to embark on his new role as Partner at JERA Ventures, investing in startups that can support the Japanese energy firm deliver on decarbonisation and digital transformation. Among his vast experience he also provides perspective from his recent position as Head of Google for Startups Japan.
Tim is also the host of his own successful podcast focussing on startups changing Japans economic landscape: Disrupting Japan.
