TOKYO & SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NUVVE JAPAN K.K. (“NVJ”), a leading provider of energy management and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) solutions and a subsidiary of U.S.-based Nuvve Holding Corp., today announced it has appointed Shigeki Mori as Executive Officer of Finance (CFO), effective May 2026.
Mori is a specialist in startup finance with a proven track record of leading high-growth technology companies to the public market. He most recently served as Director and CFO of THECOO Inc., where he successfully spearheaded the company’s IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers (now Growth) Market.
“NUVVE JAPAN is at the forefront of the energy storage revolution,” said Mori. “We are focused on transforming the company’s cutting-edge control technology into a robust portfolio of yield-generating assets. My mission is to build a financial foundation that accelerates our capital investments, achieves an early IPO, and delivers sustainable value to our stakeholders as we build the energy infrastructure of the future.”
NVJ is a Resource Aggregator and integrates grid-scale storage batteries and V2G chargers into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform. NVJ now enters a new phase of growth amid the urgent global need for grid stability and renewable energy optimization. The company plans to evolve into an “Asset-Holding Model,” owning and operating its own storage batteries and V2G infrastructure to maximize long-term revenue.
NVJ will focus on the following strategic pillars:
- Establish large-scale investment schemes for grid-scale batteries and V2G infrastructure.
- Maximize Lifetime Value (LTV) through the ownership of battery assets and implement agile capital management responsive to energy market fluctuations.
- Strengthen corporate governance and engage in strategic investor relations to drive enterprise value in preparation for an early listing.
Mori graduated from Keio University’s Faculty of Commerce and later earned his MBA from the University of Southern California (USC). He held senior management and finance positions at several multinational corporations before joining the startup ecosystem to lead financial department restructuring and fundraising efforts. He was appointed Director and CFO of THECOO Inc. in 2018 and led the company to a successful IPO in December 2021.
