Leadership Transitions: The Handover from the Founding President to the Second Generation
The founder and president of CyberAgent, Susumu Fujita, announced his intention to step down and began grooming a successor in spring 2022. After selecting 16 candidates and a preparation period spanning three and a half years, we announced our next presidential candidate on November 14, 2025. This matter is set to be officially approved at the 28th Annual Shareholders Meeting on December 12, followed by the Board of Directors meeting. We spoke with current president Susumu Fujita and incoming president-designate Takahiro Yamauchi about this transition.
