Nexil Announces Leadership Change

Nexil, a company specializing in career support for inexperienced individuals, is excited to announce the appointment of Akihiro Sugimoto as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective June 1, 2026. Sugimoto, who has served as head of the executive officer's office and board member, takes over the leadership role as Nexil continues to expand its business, particularly in collaboration with the Fines Group.

Nexil has continuously grown by creating connections between job seekers and companies, focusing on assisting those with no prior experience in their careers. The recent partnership with Fines Group, which is renowned for its video-based marketing DX support, represents a significant step in Nexil's evolution.

Transition to New Leadership

The leadership change is motivated by Nexil’s objective to deepen ties with Fines Group and pursue further business expansion. Sugimoto, who has played a crucial role in guiding Nexil from its inception, aims to expedite decision-making processes and leverage group strengths to create new value.

Under Sugimoto’s leadership, the company aims to enhance its offerings in both marketing and human resources support, responding to the needs of client companies facing challenges such as labor shortages. Since its foundation, Nexil has registered over 4,000 job seekers monthly, showcasing its success in building a robust and responsive organization.

Sugimoto's Background and Experience

Sugimoto, after graduating from university, began his career at a major financial institution listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. He witnessed significant industry restructuring and engaged in both sales and management roles. In 2020, he joined the precursor company to Nexil and became a founding member in April 2021, leading multiple new business initiatives from its early days. Sugimoto's extensive experience in overseeing human resource operations and expanding the organization's structure will be invaluable as he takes on this new role.

In a message to stakeholders, Sugimoto expressed gratitude for their support and emphasized his commitment to enhancing Nexil’s business operations. He envisions this leadership change as the company’s “second founding phase,” where his focus will be on reinforcing the business foundation and constructing a solid management structure that drives accelerated growth and increased corporate value.

Strategic Vision Moving Forward

With Fines Group as part of the Nexil team, Sugimoto is determined to strengthen the synergy between marketing support and human resource assistance. Fines Group has over 24,000 client companies, many of which struggle with recruitment issues, making this collaboration highly synergistic with Nexil's core capabilities.

Sugimoto plans to harness this partnership to not only enhance the existing human resources business but also to pioneer new business ventures and expand service areas actively.

Investment in organizational strength and staff development will be prioritized, creating growth opportunities for employees and fostering a workplace that encourages engagement. Sugimoto's vision extends to broadening job seekers' opportunities while supporting the growth of companies to contribute meaningfully to society.

Emphasizing Proactive Progress

The theme for Nexil's seventh fiscal year is “Shushin” (驀進), reflecting the determination to act decisively and swiftly in a constantly changing environment. Sugimoto believes that every team member should maintain a sense of ownership and be unafraid to advance, thus achieving greater organizational growth.
