Quote from Geoff Thomas
Japan is one of Infor’s most strategic markets worldwide and plays an important role in our long-term growth strategy across Asia Pacific.
Organizations today are looking beyond general-purpose AI. They want technology that understands the unique requirements of their industries, improves business processes, and helps people make better decisions.
Infor is uniquely positioned to meet these needs through our Industry Cloud platform, which combines deep industry functionality with AI, automation, and advanced analytics.
Yuka has an exceptional track record of building high-performing organizations, strengthening customer relationships, and leading business transformation. Her leadership will be instrumental as we continue helping customers across Japan achieve measurable business outcomes.
Kanemitsu brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in enterprise technology. She will focus on expanding Infor’s presence across Automotive, Industrial Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, Distribution, and other asset-intensive sectors while helping customers modernize operations through Industry Cloud, AI, and intelligent automation.
Quote from Yuka Kanemitsu
AI is transforming how businesses operate, but technology alone does not create value. Sustainable business transformation happens when organizations combine industry expertise, modern cloud technology, trusted data, and AI to improve how work gets done. Together with our customers and partners, we will help organizations modernize with confidence and create measurable business value.

Infor continues to invest in innovation across its Industry Cloud platform, embedding AI and automation into industry-specific applications that help organizations improve operational performance, accelerate decision-making, and achieve measurable business outcomes.
