Boxed, Inc. announced the addition of Tsukasa Ojima, Executive Officer, Business Development and Branding at AEON Co. Ltd. (“AEON”), to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Over the last 30 years, Mr. Ojima has established himself as a top business executive in Asia, through a variety of management positions in commercial and investment banking with leading financial institutions, including Sanwa Bank (now MUFG Bank Ltd.), Lehman Brothers Japan, Inc. and Nomura Securities.

Before joining AEON, Mr. Ojima served as Director, Vice President, and Executive Officer of Wealth Management Inc. He also serves as a Director of OOTOYA Holdings Co. Ltd. Mr. Ojima fills a seat vacated when Board member Yuki Habu accepted a new role as a member of the Board of Directors at AEON, where she serves as a senior executive. Given the increased time commitment required with this appointment, she decided to step off the Board at Boxed.
