GEM Japan celebrates 5th anniversary and welcomes new CEO 

This November, we were thrilled to celebrate the 5th anniversary of GEM Japan and welcomed Mr. Trinh Van Tuan as its new CEO.  

GEM Japan’s journey thus far 

Since late 2018, when GEM started entering the Japanese market, GEM Japan has been a key pillar in our journey of serving and empowering clients globally. Thanks to the leadership’s thorough preparation and the intensive support of domestic partners, in November 2019, it was officially established as GEM Corporation’s legal entity in Japan.

Within five years, from a humble start, GEM Japan has grown into a thriving company with strong technical expertise and proven success with prestigious clients. Its team includes seasoned Japanese advisors and sales specialists who have held key roles at leading corporations, as well as highly skilled Vietnamese engineers based in Japan. Meanwhile, its impressive customer base features the top 10 SI companies in Japan and renowned Fortune Global 500 partners.   

Reaching this milestone was not without challenges. Like many other businesses and organizations, GEM Japan faced significant difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the determination of GEM’s leadership, the steadfast support from valued customers and partners, and the collective efforts of the entire team enabled the company to persevere and thrive. 

Leadership transition announced 

Also on this occasion, GEM Japan welcomed Mr. Trinh Van Tuan as its newly appointed CEO. 

During the leadership transition ceremony, representatives from GEM and GEM Japan expressed their gratitude to Mr. Nishikawa for his invaluable contributions over the past five years. Flowers and gifts were presented to honor his dedication and service. Mr. Nishikawa’s leadership during the company’s foundational years played a crucial role in establishing the company’s strong foothold in this market. 

This transition reflects GEM’s commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation in leadership and governance. Mr. Tuan, as the next-generation leader, is expected to strengthen GEM Japan’s position and its alignment with GEM Corporation’s vision of becoming a global IT powerhouse.
