State Street has appointed Taro Kuryuzawa as country head for Japan.

Based in Tokyo, Kuryuzawa will report to Mostapha Tahiri, CEO for Asia Pacific (APAC).

In this newly created role, Kuryuzawa will be responsible for State Street’s business activities in Japan, including driving strategy, developing talent, pursuing growth opportunities, as well as managing relationships with Japanese clients, partners, officials and regulators.

Kuryuzawa joined State Street in May this year, from Deloitte Tohmatsu group where he was most recently head of institutional investor coverage in Japan and global lead client service partner, overseeing large insurers and global institutional investor accounts in Japan.

Prior to Deloitte, he held a number of senior positions at Citigroup, including its global private equity fund, CVC International, for almost a decade.

With offices in Tokyo and Fukuoka, State Street offers trustee, middle office outsourcing, global custody, offshore fund services and a front-to-back asset servicing platform (State Street Alpha) as well as other services.

Commenting on Kuryuzawa’s appointment Tahiri says: “We created this country head role to bring all State Street’s offerings together for our clients in Japan. With two decades of on-the-ground experience, Taro Kuryuzawa has a keen understanding of the unique needs of our Japanese clients. I am confident that his leadership will help us continue to expand and accelerate our growth in Japan.”

This year State Street celebrates its 35th anniversary in Japan.
