The company's announcement underscores its commitment to expanding its footprint in Japan as it aims for further substantial growth.
Ryo Nishiura: A Visionary Leader
With over 25 years of rich experience in leadership and sales expertise, Nishiura brings invaluable insight to his new role at Deel. Before joining Deel, he served as an executive officer at Zoom Japan, where he notably thrived in corporate sales targeting small to medium-sized enterprises. His impressive resume also includes key positions at major players such as Japan Airlines, American Express, Expedia Group, Tink Labs, and Uber Eats, where he consistently achieved high revenue growth and built high-performing teams across various industries.
Nishiura expressed his enthusiasm regarding his new position, stating, "I am truly honored to support Japan's incredible companies in stepping into the global arena. The Deel platform has substantially reduced the complexities surrounding international employment and payroll, enabling businesses to focus on what matters most—growth. Leveraging my experience, I am committed to bolstering Japanese companies as they embark on their global journeys."
Record Business Growth in Japan
The announcement of Nishiura’s appointment comes on the heels of Deel's remarkable business expansion in the Japanese market, achieving a staggering 145% revenue growth from June 2024 to June 2025 compared to the previous year.
