Creating Value
Beyond Borders.

Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1966. After graduating from Soka University's Faculty of Business Administration, Okabe joined Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) in 1990. Over the following decade, he collaborated with teams across more than 20 countries, building deep expertise in internet and mobile solutions, software internationalization, localization, project management, and cross-industry partnerships.

In December 2000, he co-founded eEntry Corporation as a joint venture between SoftBank and Accenture, serving as President & CEO from day one (later taking the company private through an MBO). eEntry has since supported US, Israeli, and Korean tech ventures in entering the Japanese market, and guided Japanese companies in expanding across Asia and beyond — from strategy through execution.

In 2010, Okabe became a partner at Social Venture Partners Tokyo, while serving as an advisor to NPO CrossFields and as a board member of NPO Rebit, deeply engaged in nurturing the next generation of social entrepreneurs. He has since led several ventures: CEO of blockchain startup Orb, co-founder of children's food welfare platform "Gigi," and President & CEO of Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime-listed SystemSoft Corporation.

A diagnosis of Stage 4 overlapping cancers became a turning point. After surviving his most profound personal challenge, Okabe committed himself to healthcare and wellness — not just as a patient, but as a builder of solutions. In August 2025, he joined the board of WelFort Inc. to lead its wellness business. Drawing from his lived experience, he champions Iris Cancer Mutual Aid and shares patient-centered perspectives on X and note.
