William Hiroyuki Saito (ウィリアム 浩幸 齋藤, born March 23, 1971) is an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, public policy consultant and educator who has founded start-ups, managed corporations and contributed to global information security policy over the past two decades. He holds multiple patents in the U.S. and Japan based on his work in information and data security, particularly the field of biometrics. William Saito is the author of numerous essays and other publications. His autobiography, ''An Unprogrammed Life: Adventures of an Incurable Entrepreneur'' was published in 2011 by John Wiley & Sons. His first book in Japanese, ''The Team: Solving the Biggest Problem in Japan'' was published in 2012 by Nikkei BP and became a bestseller in Japan. His follow-on book, ''Is Your Thinking up to Global Standards?'' was published in 2013 by Daiwa Shobo. In addition to being a public speaker and prolific writer in both English and Japanese (he currently contributes a regular weekly column to the ''Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun''), Saito is regularly quoted in the media on both sides of the Pacific. He currently lives in Japan, where he runs global consultancy firm (InTecur ), serves on multiple government advisory committees, and lectures at the nation’s top universities. The Nikkei newspaper named him one of the "100 Most Influential People for Japan." He is currently the Special Advisor to the (Cabinet Office ) for the Government of Japan in charge of science & technology and information technology policy. == Early life in the U.S. == Saito’s parents emigrated from Japan to the United States in 1969, two years before William was born in Los Angeles, California. Both his father and mother—a chemist and veterinarian, respectively—stressed the value of acquiring math skills. Saito was solving college-level math problems by the time he finished primary school, and working on the school’s only computer. While still in junior high, he began performing coding jobs for Merrill Lynch and other firms. Excited by the challenges and potential of personal computers, Saito and high school classmate Tas Dienes began developing and marketing software products under the name I/O Software. Saito graduated a year early from Damien High School in 1987, and went on to earn a degree in biomedical science from the University of California, Riverside (UCR). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Saito」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
