In an exciting development for the renewable energy sector, Green Growth Corporation based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the appointment of Shota Hashidume as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective March 1, 2026. The company, known for its commitment to creating next-generation infrastructure, aims to further bolster its growth and expand its operations under Hashidume's leadership.

Background of the Appointment

Hashidume joined Green Growth in November 2025 as Executive Officer and CFO. Since then, he has been instrumental in establishing corporate functions, shaping capital strategies, and enhancing the financial foundation for fundraising efforts. His extensive knowledge of finance has also enabled him to engage deeply in business planning and new venture development, demonstrating remarkable leadership at the intersection of finance and operations.

Currently, Green Growth is navigating a pivotal phase of growth, marked by the expansion of its industrial battery business, the initiation of an aggregation business, and the development of solutions for both energy producers and consumers. Recognizing the urgency of this transition, the company has chosen Hashidume to be a key player in its management team alongside CEO Junpei Kono and Director Fukunaga, aiming to solidify decision-making and execution frameworks to maximize corporate value further.

Hashidume's academic foundation lies in his degree from Keio University’s School of Business. His professional journey includes significant roles at Daiwa Securities, where he focused on asset consulting sales and investment banking, particularly in M&A advisory. He then played a crucial role in building governance systems and facilitating fundraising—approximately 4 billion yen—at MICIN, a healthcare start-up. Before joining Green Growth, he served as the CFO of SPACER, a smart locker start-up. This diverse background in finance and strategic management equips him with the skills necessary for his new role.
