Had an incredibly insightful conversation with **Kazuki Ohta**, the co-founder and CEO of **Treasure Data**, about the evolving CDP landscape, the ambitious **Trade-up Program**, and even some surprising macroeconomic insights into Japan’s workforce and AI.

Kazuki’s unique perspective on the **real role of a CDP** (hint: it’s much more than just marketing) and his approach to solving **failed implementations** makes this one a must-listen for anyone in MarTech and data.

We covered a lot of ground, from how **Treasure Data scales globally**, to **why CDPs fail**, to **what Japan’s declining birth rates mean for AI adoption in the workforce**. A true thought leader, Kazuki didn’t hold back on sharing his vision.
