Linc Corporation Announces New CFO Appointment
Linc Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently appointed Yoichi Masui as its new Executive Officer and CFO. This strategic decision aims to bolster the company's growth trajectory and enhance its corporate valuation. With Masui at the helm of financial and capital strategies, Linc is set to advance its IR activities and implement strategic investments and M&A initiatives vital for its business expansion.
Background of the Appointment
Linc Corporation is pioneering initiatives aimed at providing comprehensive support for foreign talent in Japan. One of its most notable offerings is the AI-based recruitment management platform, "Linc Global Hub." The platform specializes in addressing the needs of foreign professionals as they navigate their career and life events in Japan, utilizing advanced technology to facilitate seamless integration.
Masui, who previously worked in the investment banking division at Nomura Securities for over a decade, brings a wealth of experience in equity underwriting and M&A advisory services. Following his tenure at Nomura, he played a crucial role in leading large funding rounds and strategic initiatives within growing startups. His extensive background will be instrumental as he drives financial strategies and oversees M&A activities to further bolster Linc's business growth and overall market presence.
Career Path of Yoichi Masui
Masui embarked on his career journey with Nomura Securities in 2007, immediately after graduating. His pivotal role in the investment banking division focused on equity underwriting before transitioning to the corporate information department. In this capacity, he handled various M&A advisory projects for both domestic and international corporate clients.
In 2021, Masui joined SUPER STUDIO as an Executive Officer, where he was responsible for executing large-scale funding initiatives worth several billion yen. His duties included planning growth strategies, establishing alliances with shareholders and financial institutions, and launching new services in the financial sector.
In June 2025, Masui will bring his expertise to Linc as CFO, where he will not only lead fundraising and financial strategies but also actively promote M&A strategies aimed at furthering the company’s business expansion and enhancing its corporate value.
Masui's Thoughts on the Appointment
Expressing his views on joining Linc, Masui stated that he feels a strong connection with Linc because of his shared history with Nakakubo, Linc's representative, as colleagues at Nomura. He believes in the massive growth potential of the foreign talent market but recognizes the significant challenges that still need to be addressed concerning support for foreign professionals' life events in Japan.
At Linc, a diverse group of highly skilled engineers from various nationalities is continuously coming together to build a supportive platform that utilizes AI and other technologies. This infrastructure is designed to offer comprehensive assistance to foreign talent at every stage of their life events.
Masui emphasized the importance of Linc's neutral perspective toward both overseas and Japanese markets and the incredible products that support foreign professionals throughout their journey. He is committed to working collaboratively with his team to tackle challenges boldly and contribute to Linc's vision of a society rich in diversity and inclusiveness.
