Infomart Announces Leadership Transition

Infomart, a leading company in providing cloud services for business efficiency, has announced a significant change in its leadership. The Board of Directors, influenced by the deliberations of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, has decided to appoint Shin Kimura as the new CEO, effective from January 1, 2026. This transition comes as the current CEO, Ken Nakajima, will step down on December 31, 2025, and continue his role as a board member thereafter.

The Decision Behind the Transition

Infomart operates under a corporate philosophy that emphasizes being useful, necessary, and bringing joy to society through its services. The company has been at the forefront of enhancing operational efficiency and promoting digital transformation (DX) for businesses with robust solutions, including a B2B platform. As of September 2025, the platform has garnered over 1.2 million corporate users, achieving notable stability and profitability through continuous engagement.

However, the competitive landscape of the enterprise SaaS sector has rapidly evolved, with heightened customer needs and intensified competition. To navigate this shifting environment and ensure continued growth, Infomart recognizes the necessity for a more agile management structure. After extended discussions lasting over a year, the decision to entrust the company’s future to a new generation of leadership emerged as the preferred strategy for sustainable development and improvement in corporate value.

Kimura has played a pivotal role in various key projects within Infomart, particularly focusing on the expansion of the food business and the launch and promotion of e-invoicing services. As the current Vice President, he has been intricately involved in the overall corporate management, leading strategy planning and execution company-wide. His capacity for sound judgment, bold action, and unwavering leadership amid industry changes have earned him confidence and respect from both internal and external stakeholders. This positions him as the ideal candidate to spearhead Infomart's future growth and transformation initiatives.
