Yota Shoji
Career Summary
After completing graduate studies at Nagoya University, I joined Rakuten as a new graduate, where I worked on planning apps and websites in the financial business domain. I later moved to LINE, where I was responsible for product management and business leadership for fintech services. I joined CADDi in 2021, where I led operations for a supply chain management system and project management for an SAP implementation. I now primarily work in product management for the data platform domain.
Why I Joined
I chose CADDi because of its people and the intensity they bring. At previous companies, there were many moments when executives seemed focused on protecting their own interests or their own organizations, but at CADDi everyone was aligned around a single mission, and the purity of that commitment felt completely different. I did not initially have a particularly strong interest in manufacturing itself. What first drew me in was the combination of difficult problems and people who were passionate about them. I want to create real game-changing impact with this team, which is sincerely committed to unlocking the potential of manufacturing.
Role at CADDi
The first area I worked on after joining was product management for a supply chain management system connecting ordering and purchasing in manufacturing. I managed the product while confronting the complex operational realities unique to manufacturing sites. I then also served as PM for an ERP implementation project, driving the digitalization of core operations. Today I work in the data platform domain, building the foundation that transforms manufacturing-specific data—such as drawings, technical documents, BOMs, and defect-related information—into forms that AI and applications can use. My work is about building a data platform that can fundamentally improve the quality of decision-making in manufacturing.
