Masaru Tange
President/Rep Dir/Founder of SHIFT
Masaru Tange graduated from Kyoto University and joined Incs Inc. in 2000 where he started their IT business and strategy consulting group with only 2 members and developed it into the company’s main business with a team of 140 consultants with annual revenue of $50M in 5 years. He then founded SHIFT Inc in 2005 in his studio apartment. He was the only employee. The business world wasn’t very kind to him – he made no revenue for a while but he kept experimenting with the business model listening to the needs of customers. In 2009, he finally found traction in the “software testing industry.” In 2014, Masaru successfully IPO’ed the company. Shift now has 500 employees.
