business opportunities.

Commenting on the reorganisation of the company, Kentaro Okuda, president and group CEO of Nomura, says: “This is an important next step in our digital evolution, digital technology is a critical part of our strategic drive to expand our operations in private markets. The new digital company will lead deeper collaboration among internal and external stakeholders, accelerate our uptake of digital technologies, and enhance our client services.”
