For Gubbe, the investment presents a lot of opportunities for the future. “It is an honour to form a strategic alliance with an experienced, reputable company who holds an astonishing amount of intel on the HR domain which is one of our key operations” Gubbe’s CEO Sandra Lounamaa states. “We are excited to start crafting Gubbe’s 50 years strategy with a partner like Mynavi”.

As Japan has the world’s fastest aging population often referred to as “the silver economy”, Mynavi sees a lot of synergies with Gubbe’s business model. “We think Gubbe will be able to find scalable and efficient models in recruiting young people globally in the aging society. Being able to harness this workforce into their business model might be able to give a competitive edge other companies lack in the health care sector” Mynavi’s CEO Yoshiaki Tsuchiya comments.
