In December 2023, Mr. Fujino co-founded Protein Immuno-Engineering Laboratories, Inc., where he now serves as Chief Executive Officer. He previously held senior leadership roles at the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) from 2016 to 2021, including as Managing Executive Officer and Global Head of the Equity Finance Group, where he oversaw international investments in energy sectors such as renewables, hydrogen, power storage, and natural gas.
