Yusuke Takezawa

After six years at SMBC, I joined Boston Consulting Group in 2018. As a Project Leader, I worked primarily in the financial and public sectors, supporting clients on mid-term business planning, business and operational transformation through digital initiatives, policy design, and public-sector project management. In 2023, I joined Progmat Co., Ltd. as a founding member and Chief Strategy Officer. I later launched Project Pax with SWIFT and led global initiatives focused on stablecoin settlement infrastructure and interoperability across jurisdictions. Since April 2026, I have been working as an Independent Advisor on Cross-Border Finance and Institutional Design, focusing on addressing structural challenges in international collaboration and advancing new frameworks for cross-border ecosystem development, particularly between Japan and global markets.
