Kazuhiro Ogura
Kazuhiro Ogura started his company Horizon Digital Enterprise, Inc. (which changed its name into HDE Inc. later in 2005, and then into HENNGE later in 2019) in 1996 when he was a 21-year-old student at Hitotsubashi University, and he still is a CEO until now, so he doesn't have any working records other than in HENNGE. He started programming at the age of 6 years old because his parents didn't buy him a video game system; he had to program his own game himself. While he never ended creating an interesting title, that experience nurtured his enthusiasm for programming, and he kept on learning geeky things until he reached the age of 15. At 15 he realized that no girls in the class were talking to him, so he decided to turn into a different kind of person when he entered high school. He buried his MSX personal computer and started playing guitar (which sadly didn't lead to getting a girlfriend) for 3 years. But after he graduated from high school, he attended a prep school nearby the famous electric city Akihabara, in which he met the computer again and got mesmerized by the super progress of technology of 3 years. After he entered a university, he bought a computer and re-started learning programming on Linux. It was still 1995 and he thought that Linux will bring something new to the world, and he finally started his own company with his friends, to sell Linux based systems to companies in Japan (around 2011 they pivoted their business to become a cloud service vendor). Besides playing the CEO role, he always stayed as an engineer in HENNGE and in 2011 he also named himself as a CTO. At the office, he usually wears kimono, Japanese traditional wear.

2018年にHENNGEに新卒で入社し、Customer Successや新規事業の企画を少しだけかじった後、採用にうつってきました。今は採用チームのマネージャーをやっています。 モットーは「なんとかする」です。むしろそれ一本でやらせていただいています。ちょくちょくYoutubeに出てますが、恥ずかしいので探さないでください。

2019年8月にHENNGEに入社しました。新卒で旅行会社に就職し楽しく働いていたものの、20代後半になり働き方を見直したい思いもあり転職を決意、まさかのコロナを予期したような抜群のタイミングで旅行業界からIT業界へと移りました。 HENNGEでは、2年間東京で営業を経験し、コロナ禍にもかかわらず名古屋オフィスへ転勤に。1年間経た後、そのまま名古屋オフィスにCentral Japan Sales のマネージャーとなり今に至ります。 名古屋では個性豊かだけど穏やかなメンバーとともに、チームのゴールに向けて一生懸命走っています。 割と新しいことにチャレンジしたり飛び込んでみることをやってきましたが、中身はビビりのためいつも自分で決心したくせにいざ目の前にすると不安モードに。結局やるしかない!精神で人生乗り切ってきました。
