TOKYO, Japan - July 11, 2025 - NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced Nick Mitsuya as Japan Country Manager. He will lead business growth, strategic planning, and go-to-market localisation efforts.
Mitsuya will partner with the cross-functional teams to drive focus, brand awareness, and revenue growth in Japan. The Asia-Pacific region (APJ) is a key priority for NAVEX as the company has seen significant demand for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) expertise and solutions by local businesses.
"Japanese organisations are increasingly focused on streamlining supply chains, mitigating risks, and strengthening compliance programs," said Andrew Bates, Chief Executive Officer at NAVEX. "To support these priorities and as part of NAVEX's ongoing commitment to significant investments in the APJ region, we knew it was essential to appoint a leader with extensive market knowledge. Nick's hands-on experience in GRC and ERM solutions, coupled with his proven track record, make him the perfect choice to drive our business development efforts and accelerate progress in this vital region."
He brings over 25 years of leadership experience in the high-tech industry with a strong emphasis on sales, commercial execution, and business growth in Japan. Mitsuya holds a degree in Economics from Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto.
Prior to joining NAVEX, he served as Country Manager at Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) Japan, leading the sales, renewals, and marketing teams. Mitsuya began his career at Keyence and has since held various senior positions at companies such as PTC, IBM, and others. He also served as Executive Officer at DocuSign Japan, where he led the enterprise sales organisation.
"I am delighted to join NAVEX at a pivotal time of growth, bringing the vision and skills needed to seamlessly drive Japanese operations to achieve our global strategy and help local businesses meet their needs," said Mitsuya.
International markets are integral to NAVEX's overall business approach as the company continues to develop industry-leading products and resources in the EMEA and APJ regions to provide added value to customers. In January, the business announced the grand opening of its permanent Global Capability Center (GCC) in Bangalore, India, and recently announced increased investments in Germany. With a presence now across America, Europe and Asia, NAVEX's impact spans the globe, providing over 88 million employees at more than 13,000 organisations with a safer place to work.
