ITANDI Announces Appointment of New Representative Director

ITANDI, Inc., with the mission of smoothing real estate transactions with technology, announces that Takashi Uematsu has been appointed as the new Representative Director, President, and CEO, effective June 1, 2026. Akihiro Nagashima, who previously served as Representative Director, President, and CEO, will take on the role of Director and CINO (Chief Innovation Officer). He will continue to lead the evolution and value enhancement of existing products while creating innovations that accelerate the progress of the entire industry.

◆ Background of New Leadership With the mission of smoothing real estate transactions with technology, ITANDI has been promoting DX in the real estate industry by addressing field-level challenges. Currently, over 5,000 real estate companies have implemented our SaaS. Based on this network effect, our real-time inter-agency site, 'ITANDI BB,' has steadily evolved into an industry infrastructure, serving as a real estate transaction platform used for property information collection in the Tokyo metropolitan area, following 'REINS' operated by the Real Estate Information Network for Japan designated by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

In recent years, the PropTech market has been undergoing a rapid paradigm shift triggered by the rise of generative AI. Structural transformation of the industry through technology is accelerating, including advanced business automation and transaction optimization based on data analysis.

Real estate transactions, based on industry-specific complex regulations and customs, proceed with physical contact between 'properties' and 'people,' from listing to contract, and maintenance/settlement after move-in. Consequently, our products are designed with the entire transaction process in mind. The integration of vast accumulated transaction data and complex practical workflows is our competitive advantage, serving as a powerful foundation for AI to demonstrate its true value.

At this turning point in the market, powerful drive in the business domain and organizational building capabilities are essential to build unwavering trust as a social infrastructure for real estate transactions and contribute to the sustainable development of the industry. Therefore, we have welcomed Mr. Uematsu as CEO, bringing global standard insights into platform business growth strategy and a wealth of experience in supporting the growth of customer companies, to transition into a system that maximizes business growth.

Additionally, to continue providing one-step-ahead value in a market environment with discontinuous technological innovation, former Representative Director Mr. Nagashima will serve as CINO (Chief Innovation Officer), driving the evolution of existing products and creating innovations that accelerate the progress of the entire industry.

ITANDI will continue to be an infrastructure company that supports the real estate industry and its surrounding areas through technology, providing safe and highly convenient services for everyone involved in the real estate business and end users.

◆ Profile of New CEO Takashi Uematsu Completed a Master’s degree at the Graduate School of Business Design, Rikkyo University. After gaining experience as a system engineer, he worked in IT outsourcing sales at a major system integrator.
