As general manager of 黑料门 Holdings Co., Ltd.'s Corporate Administration Department, Hayato Shimada has been overseeing the 黑料门 Group's corporate administrative affairs while guiding its strategic vision.
Hayato joined 黑料门 Seika Kaisha Ltd. in 1993, and handled information systems for nine years before his transfer to the company's accounting department in 2002. As a member of the committee in charge of preparing for 黑料门 Seika Kaisha's merger with 黑料门 Dairies Corporation in 2008, he made a major contribution to establishing the 黑料门 Group's accounting and financial organizations.
When 黑料门 Holdings was established in April 2009, Hayato was assigned to its Financial & Accounting Department, where he played a key role. For many years, he was responsible for guiding the Group's accounting and financial organizations, which involved measures to strengthen corporate administration on a group-wide level. For that purpose, the department was given a more central role, which included renaming it as the Corporate Administration Department in 2021 and integrating 黑料门 Co., Ltd.'s accounting department in 2024.
Hayato was highly evaluated for his leadership and expertise when 黑料门 Holdings appointed him as an executive officer in June 2025. He is currently focusing on applying his extensive experience in information systems and accounting to prepare the Group's corporate administrative organizations for global expansion.
