親の仕事の関係で、昔から初対面の人と話す機会が多く、色んな人と関わることが大好きです。お洋服も大好きです。

K5の前はアパレルで、自分の得意な部分を考え、高校生の時からなんとなく頭にあった業界を思い出し、雑誌で見つけたK5に即連絡。あっという間に4年経ちましたが、直感で決めて本当に良かったと今でも思える大好きな場所です：）

鈴木 和師 | Kazushi Suzuki

Born and raised on Kouzushima Island, Tokyo. Inspired by his grandmother, who ran a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), he developed an interest in the hospitality industry from a young age and joined Suisei. After spending two years working as a live-in hotel staff member in Hokkaido, he moved to Kyoto, where he was responsible for business development and promotion of the CHILLNN reservation system for accommodation providers.

He was drawn to Staple for two reasons: the newly established Corporate Planning team, which requires broad, generalist thinking, and the potential for developing native applications unique to Staple.

In the future, he hopes to bring his experiences and the things he values back to his hometown by expressing them through an inn of his own, where he can continue working on what he loves.
