Taku Tanaka has a plan.  In a way, it seems like he has always had a plan.  Taku is a co-Founder and the CEO of Kamereo.  This should not surprise anyone that knows him.  Whether it was the challenge of going to the University of Washington as an exchange student or joining Credit Suisse to learn more about Finance and improve his English, Taku has always taken action with purpose. Some of the topics Taku and I discussed: A strong belief in yourself is important for success His family was involved in Food and Beverage (F&B) supply chain business Always wanting to open his own restaurant Studied a lot of Japan's listed F&B businesses while at Credit Suisse Researched developing countries' F&B businesses Determined that emerging markets were a more interesting place to build Sent a cold e-mail to the founders of Vietnam's Pizza 4 Peace to try to get a job At Pizza 4P, Taku became the COO and Pizza 4P grew from 1 shop to 12 In Vietnam, the F&B supply chain is highly fragmented The founding of Kamereo - Vietnam's one-stop-shop for F&B supply chain Kamereo's potential FinTech opportunities Raising money during the COVID-19 pandemic
