Neil van Wouw
Candidate for Governor
I came to Japan from Vancouver in 1986. I’ve been very fortunate to participate in several waves of technology as they happened: CGI in civil engineering in the 80’s and 90’s; the introduction of commercial internet in the 90s; the first MVNO in the early 2000s; digital signage since 2003; and now Web3.
I’ve been a CCCJ member since 2009 and have been on the CCCJ board since 2012 (except for a one term break after being chair from 2017 to 2021). I want to do what I can to help the chamber be more effective as an organization. The CCCJ plays an important role in the Canada Japan relationship and the more that people understand that and get involved, the stronger the organization becomes. As the chamber turns 50 this year and reflects on some of the amazing work we have done, I believe we still have the best years ahead of us.
