We are a biotech venture originating from Kagoshima University, specializing in cancer therapies that utilize oncolytic viruses—specifically leveraging our "m-CRA" platform, which enables high-throughput genetic modification of adenoviruses. The candidates introduced by Johzen were of exceptional quality. Mr. Kawashima made a concerted effort to gain a deep understanding of our business and needs; he passionately promoted our company’s appeal to candidates — acting almost like an in-house evangelist — and provided tremendous support throughout the entire recruitment process. As a result, we successfully filled two key positions — including a candidate for Head of R&D — in a short timeframe, thereby strengthening critical capabilities needed to advance our current pipeline and expand our business. Given Johzen’s professional and sincere approach, I confidently recommend Johzen as a trusted partner for executive search services.
