Supports clients across the entire value chain—from strategy to operational transformation—grounded in deep expertise in industrial structures and energy systems

Yosuke has deep expertise in capital-intensive industries such as heavy industry, energy, engineering and construction, and infrastructure. Leveraging a broad perspective that spans the entire value chain—from resources and materials to end products—he closely examines how technology, policy, and regulatory frameworks influence the formation of industrial structures and energy systems.

In driving transformations, he draws on his extensive knowledge across functions such as R&D, procurement, production, and supply chain management. By addressing organizational silos and seamlessly integrating operations with strategy, he helps deliver sustainable, long-term impact.

Yosuke partners with clients to move beyond productivity and process improvements, embedding these efforts within enterprise-wide transformations that seamlessly integrate operations and strategy to drive lasting impact.

Before joining McKinsey, Yosuke worked at the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF) and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), where he was involved in project formulation, financing, and project management for overseas infrastructure projects, primarily in Asia. More recently, he served for several years as part of the leadership team at a deep-tech start-up specializing in functional materials, where he led efforts in R&D, marketing, and supply chain management, gaining extensive hands-on experience.
