Former Pasona Inc. Executive Officer Kiyoshi Seki Appointed Advisor at Leo Global Works Inc.

Leo Global Works Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Junichi Ishizuka), which provides end-to-end services from hiring foreign human resources to retention support, is pleased to announce that Kiyoshi Seki, who has led the Pasona Group for many years, has been appointed as an advisor to our company, effective July 1, 2026.

Background of Appointment

In recent years, with the backdrop of a severe labor shortage in Japan, expectations for foreign human resources, including those with Specified Skills, have been rapidly increasing. On the other hand, many companies are concerned about retention after hiring and adapting to language and cultural differences, leading to the social issue of foreign human resources not being fully utilized.

Leo Global Works Inc. addresses these challenges by providing high-quality matching that identifies personnel capable of succeeding in the workplace through careful interviews with both companies and job seekers, deepening mutual understanding, and offering end-to-end support for retention after joining the company.

Looking ahead to further business expansion, strengthening our organizational foundation, and future global development, we have appointed Kiyoshi Seki, who has extensive knowledge in growth strategies for the human resources business, management, finance, and organizational building, and has served as CFO of Pasona Group Inc. and Executive Officer and Director of Pasona Inc., as an advisor.

About Kiyoshi Seki

Joined Yamaichi Securities Co., Ltd. in April 1987. Utilizing his financial knowledge and experience, he engaged in supporting the management of many companies at a consulting firm. In April 2015, he was appointed Executive Officer of Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. (now Pasona Group Inc.) and Senior Managing Director of Tempstaff Co., Ltd. (now Pasona Inc.). He was primarily in charge of finance, governance, human resources, and DX domains, and also served as a director for various group companies involved in human resource dispatch, recruitment, business process outsourcing, and new business development.

Comment from Kiyoshi Seki

I deeply resonate with Leo Global Works' mission to 'Support the future of people and industries' and am greatly honored to join this team.

Having been involved in management within the Pasona Group for over 10 years, I believe that to solve the social issues facing Japan, an approach to both 'people' as a growing resource and 'industries' as a stage for their success is essential.

By combining the passion and overwhelming drive of everyone at Leo Global Works with the management knowledge and experience I possess, I want to create new standards that bring growth to society.

Precisely because we live in a rapidly changing era, I am delighted to work with the members of Leo Global Works, who possess a fresh sensibility to grasp change, and I will fully support their challenges where they are the protagonists.

Comment from Junichi Ishizuka, Representative Director of Leo Global Works Inc.

While labor shortages due to declining birthrates and an aging population are becoming increasingly severe in Japan, there are many talented individuals overseas seeking employment opportunities in Japan. Leo Global Works contributes to the growth of both Japanese companies and foreign human resources by resolving this supply-demand gap through its foreign human resource dispatch business.

On the other hand, with the expansion of the foreign human resources market, we believe that comprehensive solutions, extending beyond simple human resource dispatch to include the formulation of recruitment strategies and retention support, are increasingly required. In this context, the appointment of Kiyoshi Seki, who has led a leading company in the human resources industry, the Pasona Group, for many years, as an advisor is a significant step forward for our company.

By combining Mr. Seki's expertise with our company's execution capabilities, we will create new standards in the foreign human resource dispatch industry and contribute to the sustainable growth of Japanese companies and the resolution of social issues.
