Most recently serving as Commercial Director, Japan at Videology, Shironishi joined Amobee following the company’s recent acquisition of Videology. With more than two decades of experience in the technology industry, Shironishi brings a valuable insight and background, working closely with brands, agencies and broadcasters to develop long-term strategies for success. He holds a Master of Business Administration, with merit, from The University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
