Hiroshi started his undergraduate studies at Universidad del Pacífico in Lima, Peru. He decided to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in International Business at the top business school in his home country.

For 5 long and challenging years, he studied hard and successfully presented his final degree project (Capstone project) in front of a jury.

Hiroshi graduated in the top 10% of his class, and received the Honor Award for Merit for holding the 2nd place.

In the first week of this new year, Hiroshi started his first international internship for some months, as a Business Development Associate at Interviewer.AI, a Singaporean tech startup that developed an AI-powered platform for optimizing recruitment processes.
