Kyoko Otawa

After graduating from Tokyo Woman's University, I joined Rakuten as a new graduate and gained experience as an EC consultant for Rakuten Ichiba. Later, I worked as a consultant at Accenture before becoming the founder and CEO of Latona, Inc. in 2018. With a growing interest in advanced technologies, particularly in systems operating in edge computing environments, I have been focused on developing solutions for industries facing severe labor shortages, such as major manufacturing, retail, and logistics sectors. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, I aim to drive efficiency and automation, ultimately addressing the challenges faced by these industries. I have also been actively involved in various activities as a female entrepreneur, including being selected for Tokyo APT Women and Google Women Founders in APAC. I was born in 1991 and hail from Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture. Above all, I love cats.
