Yasutaka Mizutani (Mizu) — CEO

I work across strategy, execution, and leadership — between Asia and the West. Based in the UK, I’ve spent my career working across EMEA and APAC, with end-to-end responsibility for growth, operations, and P&L. My background spans operations, marketing, sales, product, and leadership — which means I’ve sat in most of the chairs around the table before I started working across them. The teams I’ve led have consistently delivered double-digit growth, outperforming the market across multiple cycles and geographies. That track record came less from having the right strategy on paper, and more from the quality of the people, and the trust built between them — that’s what holds alignment under pressure and turns strategy into performance. What I’ve observed over the years is that the hardest problems in international organisations aren’t usually technical or strategic. They’re about people — whether the right relationships exist, whether there’s enough trust to have honest conversations, and whether leaders can hold teams together when things get difficult. Having built a career across both Asian and Western business environments, I see those dynamics from both sides. That perspective shapes how I work with boards and senior leadership teams — on the moments where something looks clear on paper but is genuinely difficult in practice. Building the trust and people structures that underpin real performance. Strengthening alignment across functions and geographies. Creating the organisational clarity that lets global teams actually deliver. [水谷安孝]
