■Comments from Mr. Kazumasa Watanabe

Cutting-edge technology is enabling companies to envision a creative future that is not an extension of the past.  However, in order to open up the possibilities of that future, it is essential to be passionate, never give up, and persistent.   I was amazed by the passion of Cinnamon AI people who are determined to create a new business structure in the age of AI together with their clients and then decided to join Cinnamon AI.  One of Cinnamon AI’s management policies is a sentence that reads, “Be the Sherpa of change that leads exponential growth.”  Sherpas are a minority group in Nepal who support mountaineering teams with expert, determined determination. I would like to learn to be a Sherpa for the growth of each individual and organization.
