Soluna Inc. Completes Business Succession with Leadership Transition
Soluna Inc., headquartered in the heart of Tokyo, has completed a significant business succession and leadership transition, marking a new chapter in its efforts to counter online defamation and reputation damage. The transition comes as the company continues its mission to provide comprehensive solutions for businesses affected by negative online narratives, including monitoring and proactive measures against digital reputation crises.
New Leadership
At the helm of Soluna is now Yuuki Adake, who takes over as CEO following the departure of founder Kazunori Misawa, who will now serve as Chairman. Adake expressed his enthusiasm about this opportunity, highlighting the importance of Soluna’s role in the digital age, referring to the company as “the hospital for companies.” With a background at major firms like Nomura Securities and Boston Consulting Group, Adake brings a wealth of experience to the table, particularly in managing the challenges of small to medium-sized enterprises.
The Future of Soluna
This leadership change comes at a critical time when online defamation and unfounded reputational damage have become pressing issues for many organizations. Since its establishment in 2011, Soluna has positioned itself as a protector against digital crises, performing services categorized as both “treatment” for existing issues and “prevention” to avert future risks. The company aims to expand its offerings by leveraging innovative technologies and enhancing its services to protect the integrity of businesses.
Kazunori Misawa stated, "I’m extraordinarily proud of the journey we’ve had over the last 14 years. The rapid advancements in technology, especially with the rise of generative AI, underscore the need for businesses to adapt quickly. I am confident that Yuuki will lead Soluna not just as a defensive entity against reputational damage, but toward enhancing our clients’ brand value effectively."
New Strategies and Services
Under Adake's leadership, Soluna plans to broaden its service offerings, which currently include:
- - Support for Online Defamation and Reputation Damage: Assisting companies in managing negative information disseminated online, responding to search engine results, and providing risk consulting.
- - Online Risk Monitoring and Education: Regular monitoring of online reputations and conducting digital literacy training to empower employees and decision-makers.
- - “Net Resume”: A unique hiring support service that investigates and analyzes candidates' online activities to assess their reputational integrity, with over 50,000 successful analyses conducted, predominantly in the education, finance, medical, and consulting sectors.
Vision for the Future
Soluna aspires to establish the “Net Resume” as a third standard document alongside traditional resumes, revolutionizing how candidates are evaluated. Future plans include collaborations with educational institutions and government entities to promote the Net Resume, aiming for expansion into Asian markets and reinforcing its position as a leader in web risk management.
Company Background
Founded in March 2011, Soluna Inc. offers consulting services for counteracting online defamation and conducting web monitoring and digital literacy training. The company is firmly rooted in its belief that businesses should not only survive but thrive even in the face of digital challenges.
