The AAIC Group’s mission is to take on the challenge of creating new value across the nations by consolidating know-how (strategic consulting & execution), capital (incubation & investment), and talent (HR services & global network).
AAIC values your pioneer spirit. Colleagues from diverse backgrounds are working hard every day with the desire to connect Japan’s competitive strengths and assets with the growth of emerging countries and initiate growth in new business fields.
At the time of AAIC’s founding, there were still a small number of Japanese companies seriously engaged in business in emerging countries.
Now, many companies have worked with our group and have grown into large businesses. New challenges are always tough yet truly exciting.
Together with our clients and investees, we are committed to growing together and creating new values.
Whether you are a new graduate, on a mid-career shift, or looking for an internship, we are looking for candidates who wish to create new growth together with a diverse group of people from diverse backgrounds, with a passionate heart and determination.
Thank you for your interest in AAIC Group.
We look forward to receiving your application.
Based in Kenya, I am mainly in charge of supporting the expansion of Japanese companies into Africa (strategic consulting).
Not only European and American companies, but also Chinese and Indian companies are actively expanding into Africa, and global competition is unfolding.
It is highly competitive and challenging. I think that the real thrill of our company is the dynamism of formulating a strategy based on the research we conducted while working hard in putting it into action.
Based on my experience working as a bridge between countries for Japan’s interest in the public sector, it was a career shift for me to join AAIC and support the business expansion from private sector.
The appeal of AAIC is that it offers you a work environment with open communication, where you can work proactively and expeditiously and deepen your knowledge and insights through projects, and you can realise your individual growth goals.
In my early career, I joined a major IT company as a new graduate and worked in retail sales, corporate sales, and sales planning for advertising and business support products.
At AAIC, I engaged in consulting projects such as supporting the Asian expansion of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and assisting with overseas new business ventures. Currently, I serve as the Sales and Marketing Lead for AAIC’s direct investment project in East Africa—an agricultural venture known as OSTI.
Being at the forefront of emerging market business, where no Japanese had ventured before, allows me to directly shape business outcomes and deliver value to our clients. Moreover, it contributes to the growth of both Japan and the emerging countries. Yet, the thrill of traveling the world, negotiating with partners and clients, and occasionally engaging with government officials—to experience the dynamics of global business firsthand—is what makes AAIC an ideal fit for those seeking such opportunities
As a student, I visited 10 African countries and became interested in African business. In Africa, where there are still few Japanese companies, it is rare to find a company like AAIC that is taking on the challenge of consulting, investment, and other diverse approaches, and I wanted to work with people from a variety of backgrounds to carry out projects of high social and economic value. My days in Nigeria are a lot of trouble, but I am very excited to witness the opportunity to find/create a new market with local people by learning about the local reality and people’s insights.
As a graduate of Singapore Institute of Technology with Honours with Distinction in Pharmaceutical Engineering, I developed a foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving.
Though my background is in pharmaceutical engineering, my curiosity about the world and eagerness to learn led me to pursue a career in consulting at AAIC. I see market research and consulting as an incredible opportunity to expand my horizons, learn from others, and contribute to impactful projects across Asia and Africa. What I particularly appreciate about working at AAIC is the collaborative environment and the shared commitment to making a meaningful impact in the regions we serve and with the clients we support. Being part of such a dedicated and passionate team has been a truly rewarding experience.
Prior to joining AAIC, I was the CFO of an E-commerce start-up company in Rwanda invested by one of the biggest Japanese IT companies. I was leading the finance team, in charge of corporate governance implementation. I was also engaged in power infrastructure industry focusing on IPP/IWPP for 7 years.
Currently, I am in charge of an investment fund, growing businesses together with leading startup entrepreneurs. I have been hooked with African society since I was a student. Putting yourself in this highly emerging African market would give you stimulations and would push yourself out of your comfort zone.
