Jesper Koll | TEDxTokyo 2014
An “explorer of all things Japan, from high finance to low-level politics”, Jesper Koll has over two decades of experience at major financial institutions in Japan and has written two books about finance, both in Japanese (Towards a New Japanese Golden Age and The End of Heisei Deflation). Jesper describes himself as “Japan’s Last Japan Optimist.” That optimism has motivated him to mentor the country’s next generation of entrepreneurs and startups, to promote Japan to policymakers and investors around the world, and to help start a Special Economic Zone in Fukuoka.
