Hello, I am Jacques Deguest. Thank you for visiting my profile.

I am a French Entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist, speaking English and Japanese. Since my teenage, I had the opportunity to travel and meet diverse cultures and people. I always believed and still believe that diversity in people and culture is a wealth if it is leveraged with sincere respect and tolerance. I created my first venture after University, and moved to Japan, where I am currently living, 4 years later. Japan is for me, the quintessence of my expected level when it comes to service, quality in execution, harmonized balance of culture and modernism, capacity to foster entrepreneurship by openly encouraging success. That being said, of course, there no such thing as a perfect country, so there is room for improvement in Japan as well. So, this is where I spend my time to help young entrepreneurs, coaching them and supporting them by using IT as a business enabler. I want to help change Japanese society, who has enormous untapped potential, by helping its women entrepreneurs step up and adopt innovative approach more based on Emotional Quotient.

I love to meet people, and understand what makes their heart tick. I love to delve down into the Japanese culture of the 60s. I also love to scuba dive, and my spots of predilection are in Okinawa, the southern Japanese islands.

I find Wikipedia to be a role model in terms of tolerance, shared knowledge. It has reached an intriguing balance of usefulness, uniqueness and trustworthiness that I am keen to try to replicate.

Kind regards, Jacques Deguest
