We are pleased to announce that a dialogue featuring employees of wevnal Inc. has been published as a special feature in the February 2026 issue of the monthly magazine “Rinen to Keiei” (Philosophy and Management), released on January 21, 2026 by Cosmo Educational Publishing Co., Ltd.

In this magazine’s special feature, “Middle Managers Shaping the Next Era,” Kazuhiro Kojima, General Manager of the AI & Engagement Division, and Kaito Takayanagi, General Manager of the EFO & Payment Division, were featured.

In this discussion on the theme of “The Role of Middle Management,” the speakers present practical leadership theories grounded in their own experiences, including the behind-the-scenes efforts that led to winning the company-wide “Best Team Award” four years in a row, as well as the struggles faced when serving as the youngest team leader at the age of 24.

In a rapidly growing startup, two individuals who serve as the “heart” connecting management and the front lines discussed how they transform the anguish of being caught in the middle into a sense of purpose, and how they leverage that to drive the business forward.

Please take a look.
