Syuppin Co., Ltd. ( (JP:3179) ) has issued an announcement.

Syuppin Co., Ltd. has replaced former president and representative director Naohiko Ono with managing director and COO/CIO Masashi Saito as president and CEO following an internal governance issue. An external investigation confirmed that Ono made inappropriate remarks toward officers and employees during a period of disruption tied to a core system renewal project, prompting his resignation.

The company acknowledged that excessive concentration of authority in Ono and weaknesses in governance and compliance contributed to the situation, and its management team has accepted collective responsibility. While Ono will remain a non-representative director until the June shareholders’ meeting to support an orderly transition, Saito’s promotion is intended to stabilize operations and strengthen oversight as Syuppin moves to reinforce its management structure.
