「外の世界」だと思っていた
サステナビリティへの衝撃。
ちぎれるほど考え続けた毎日が、
「外の世界」を
「自分事」に変えた
Kitami was shocked to learn that algae can be used as fuel in a manga, and that the research is being conducted in Japan. However, at that time, he said, "I thought it was about the outside world," considering my career and work. Still, he joined Euglena, saying, "If my experience is alive."
"After graduating from university, I got a job at a manufacturer in Kyoto. It was a company that puts new products in the industry on the market while valuing brand and quality. I am not familiar with systems and servers at all. However, I was assigned to the Information Systems Department as a new graduate. I worked on my work with the feeling of listening, relying on, and advancing without being shy.
After that, I was transferred to the Public Relations and Public Relations Department, where I was in charge of website planning, SNS management, and promotion planning. With dozens of brands, I was conscious of the background and form of the business, and every day I continued to put out plans to the world. Even when I had a hard time coming up with ideas, I kept thinking about the project while always being aware of the outside world, without staying inside. After that, I continued to work in promotion at a cosmetics and IT company, and I joined Euglena because of my relationship. "
Kitami, who joined the company in 2019, was assigned to the marketing department, demonstrating his own ideas and breathing new life into Euglena. In 2020, he was transferred to the current public relations department, and the scope of "thinking" expanded to the entire company.
"What I actually think about joining the company is that it was a belief that technological innovation was a research and development job. To grow that kind of thing, it is necessary to have someone like me who thinks about planning. I realized that it is fun to listen to the progress of fuels made from algae, which I thought was the outside world, from many R & D colleagues and think about what kind of contribution they can make as public relations.
