The Tokyo Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of Masato Seko as Executive Director for Leadership Development, as approved at meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees held in March.

In his new role, Seko will oversee and guide the Foundation’s three leadership development programs—Sylff, NF-JLEP, and the READ JAPAN PROJECT—working closely with the many individuals and institutions that make these initiatives possible.

Seko brings more than 25 years of experience in solution-oriented projects and leadership development, including extensive work in the field of peacebuilding at The Nippon Foundation and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. He has personally traveled to and worked on projects in approximately 50 countries worldwide, giving him a wealth of on-the-ground experience and deep international expertise.

Through the Foundation’s leadership development programs, Seko looks forward to working closely with our global community of fellows, partners, and friends to nurture leaders who contribute to addressing global challenges and to further deepen international understanding of Japan.
