Parchment Strengthens Global Expansion with Appointment of New Channel Manager in Japan

Parchment, an Instructure company, the global leader in digital credentialing solutions, is excited to announce Yoshimi Takagi as the new Channel Account Manager for Japan. This appointment reflects Parchment’s commitment to expanding its Japanese footprint and unlocking the vast potential of the Japanese education technology (EdTech) market.

“I’m thrilled to join Parchment at such a pivotal time for education and workforce development in Japan,” said Yoshimi Takagi. “With the growing demand for seamless, secure, and internationally recognized digital credentials, I look forward to working with local partners to help institutions and employers embrace these transformative tools.”

Japan, with its dynamic blend of tradition and innovation, presents immense opportunities in the digital credentialing space. As the country’s education system evolves to meet the demands of a globalized economy, digital credentials are becoming crucial for enhancing mobility, transparency, and the recognition of academic and professional achievements. With a population increasingly focused on lifelong learning, workforce reskilling, and international education exchange, the adoption of secure, portable, and verified digital credentials is set to rise significantly.

“Japan’s educational institutions and employers are increasingly recognizing the need for more efficient, secure, and internationally accepted credential solutions,” said Daniel Hibbert, APAC Director at Parchment. “Digital credentials are transforming how learning achievements are shared and verified globally, and Japan is strongly positioned to take advantage of these advancements. We are confident that Yoshimi Takagi will lead our efforts to support Japanese institutions directly in embracing these opportunities and expanding our partner network.”

Driving the Future of Digital Credentials in Japan

As the newly appointed Channel Account Manager, Yoshimi Takagi will lead Parchment’s efforts to build strong partnerships with local institutions, deliver innovative solutions, and drive the adoption of digital credentials across Japan, notably through our local partners. With deep expertise in edtech and the Japanese market, our local partners will work closely with educational institutions, corporate partners, and other stakeholders to position Parchment’s platform as a vital tool for Japan’s evolving education and employment landscape.
