Kanemitsu will spearhead Infor’s regional business strategy, overseeing operations and partner expansion in one of the company’s most critical global markets. Her mandate centers on accelerating the adoption of industry-specific cloud solutions across sectors including automotive, industrial manufacturing, and food and beverage.

Geoff Thomas, Infor’s leadership, noted that the Japanese market is shifting away from general-purpose AI toward technology tailored to specific industry requirements. Kanemitsu plans to address this by integrating Infor’s cloud platform with intelligent automation to enhance operational resilience and supply chain performance. According to Kanemitsu, sustainable transformation requires a synthesis of deep domain expertise, trusted data, and modern cloud architecture, a philosophy she intends to apply to help local organizations modernize their core business processes.
