“We use Silicon Valley development and techniques, but a Japanese level of QA/QC, or quality controls,” explains CEO and co-founder of SignTime K.K., Jim Weisser. Born in West Virginia and raised in Texas, Weisser came to Japan in 1993 with a plan that many other international Tokyoites can relate to: to take a few years out of their career path to teach English and experience life abroad. As the internet exploded in 1995, that short-term plan quickly evolved into what would lead him on an almost-30 year journey in entrepreneurial roles around digital transformation in Japan. 2020 marked the year Weisser launched his fourth Japan-based company, SignTime, which focuses on electronic contracts, e-hankoes and digital transformation in a global environment, alongside co-founder Jonathan Siegel.

A group photo of one session during the IUCN Youth Summit
There are not many reasons I will willingly get out of bed at 5:30 a.m., but the opportunity to make a real difference in the world is one of them.
Recently, I gathered with 13,000 fellow young people from across the globe at the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN’s) One Nature, One Future, Global Youth Summit. This 10-day event, unlike anything the conservation community had seen before, was a virtual summit organized by youth, for youth, to talk about issues affecting youth.
The IUCN defines youth as people 18–35 years old, which puts me almost exactly at the midpoint of this movement. Halfway through my youth journey is a good time to pause and reflect. I want to be a driver for positive change in the conservation community.
