HPS CONNECT - Company Profile

Profile

After graduating from university, I spent nearly two years studying abroad in Australia. Upon returning to Japan, I joined a trading company in Tokyo.

At the same time, I started a side business in import e-commerce. As the business gained traction, I left the company to go independent. However, I eventually found myself in debt. While working as a temporary staff member at a foreign logistics company, I juggled triple jobs, including a late-night restaurant position and copywriting, but struggled to repay my debts. Later, I secured a full-time position at a general goods trading company.

With income from both copywriting and my full-time job, I managed to pay off all my debts. Through a business connection, I was hired locally by a Thai freight forwarder. Within two years, I achieved annual personal sales of 100 million yen and went on to establish HPS Trade Co., Ltd. in 2016 as a group company of my former employer, taking on the role of CEO.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I began sharing animated videos focused on logistics know-how on YouTube. These videos gained traction among logistics professionals worldwide, and as of November 2022, the channel has accumulated around 110,000 subscribers. Today, I continue to share insights on career transitions in the trade industry, logistics expertise, and certifications—earning attention and support from a wide audience.
