Boxed Announces the Appointment of AEON Executive to its Board
15 July 2022 - 10:00PM
Boxed, Inc. (NYSE:BOXD, BOXD WS) (“Boxed” or the “Company”), an
online platform which sells household consumables in bulk and
licenses its e-commerce software to enterprise retailers, today
announced the addition of Tsukasa Ojima, Executive Officer,
Business Development and Branding at AEON Co. Ltd (“AEON”), one of
the world’s largest retailers, to its Board of Directors, effective
immediately.
In September of 2021, Boxed and AEON launched a partnership to
use Boxed’s proprietary e-commerce technology to power AEON digital
capabilities in the Malaysian market. Recently, Boxed announced a
signed Memorandum of Understanding with AEON’s affiliate, AEON
Vietnam Company Limited, to launch Boxed’s end-to-end software and
services platform in the Vietnamese market.
Over the last 30 years, Mr. Ojima has established himself as a
top business executive in Asia, through a variety of management
positions in commercial and investment banking with leading
financial institutions, including Sanwa Bank (now MUFG Bank, Ltd.),
Lehman Brothers Japan, Inc. and Nomura Securities. Before joining
AEON, Mr. Ojima served as Director, Vice President, and Executive
Officer of Wealth Management Inc. He also serves as a Director of
OOTOYA Holdings Co., Ltd.
Mr. Ojima fills a seat vacated when Board member Yuki Habu
accepted a new role as a member of the Board of Directors at AEON,
where she serves as a senior executive. Given the increased time
commitment required with this appointment, she decided to step off
the Board at Boxed.
“I’m honored to welcome Mr. Ojima to our Board of Directors,”
said Chieh Huang, CEO of Boxed. “He has a well-earned reputation as
a tireless leader and executive, and his experience and knowledge
will make him a valuable member to an already talented Board.”
