Biography

Hirofumi Oki is listed on UTEC's team page under PLATFORM with the title HRスペシャリスト (HR Specialist). He is included in the partner roster because UTEC's own biography for him states verbatim that from 2023 he has been engaged as a ベンチャーパートナー (Venture Partner), supporting portfolio companies from the United States and sourcing overseas management talent. The two statements conflict and both are recorded here rather than one being chosen silently. UTEC states he joined the firm's HR division in August 2018 as a Senior Manager and led the establishment and running of the HR Team, which builds management teams for portfolio companies in Japan and overseas, and that over five years he has contributed to producing more than 150 management professionals including CEOs and co-founders and participated in multiple IPOs and M&A transactions across more than 70 portfolio companies. Before UTEC he worked at a British agency leading bioventure team development in healthcare recruitment and career consulting, and earlier in venture focused organisational consulting, headhunting for web and IT industry executives and healthcare venture recruitment consulting. No education is stated on his UTEC page.
