Yasuhiro Fujiwara

Yasuhiro Fujiwara, also known to the team as ‘Fuji’, is the CFO for Adgo. Since leaving the brokerage industry, he has been involved in various investments and advisories of start-ups. His ability to head up the financial goals of Adgo comes from his 25 years of investment banking and capital markets industry experience in Asia Pacific Equities and Fixed Income markets covering a diverse portfolio of financial situations.

Before Adgo, Fuji’s most recent accomplishment in the financial industry was rebuilding Nomura’s Asia Ex-Japan Equity business when he was based in Hong Kong. His mandate was to review the business portfolio and turn Nomura’s Asian Equity business to profitability. Fuji also headed Global Markets at Bank of America Merrill Lynch APAC, holding roles which included Sales & Trading in Equity, Fixed Income, and Research and Capital Markets products. He has experience in hiring and managing a diverse team across geographies in Asia including India and Australia.

Fuji is also able to leverage his background and experience of having served various Board of Director and Executive Committee member positions in Bank of America and Nomura, and start-up companies particularly focused on governance and control, which greatly benefits Adgo.

Fuji is a golf maniac. However, driving Adgo to success makes it difficult for him to play golf – you might hear him making that excuse after hitting a poor score.
