Koji Nagai was born circa 1953. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Law from Chuo University in 1981, he joined Nomura. Koji is a company man having spent his entire career at Nomura.
During his career he built a strong reputation in sales both in the retail and institutional divisions. Koji rose through the ranks and eventually reached the position of COO and Deputy President of Nomura Securities, the domestic securities trading and investment banking unit of Nomura Holdings.
Koji was promoted to President of Nomura Securities in April 2012, as part of a restructuring of Nomura Holdings with the purpose of reducing the CEO’s domestic role. He was still getting used to and familiarizing himself with his new position when he was appointed Group CEO of Nomura Holdings in August 2012. His predecessor was forced to resign due to an insider’s trading scandal which was significant enough to rattle the Japanese financial industry.
Koji’s appointment was a part of a huge shake up and change in direction within the Nomura leadership.
