She also participated in last year's Rakuten Technology Conference as a guest speaker. Rakuten today blog artcile featuring last year's talk here

Take a look at her presentation at Rakuten Technology Conference 2018

Recently, she has become a model of the movie “Startup Girls” that was released in movie theaters in Japan in September 2019 and had a big influence on various types of people as a role model for female entrepreneurs.

I'm looking forward to Hirano-san's talk in Rakuten Technology Conference 2019 because she is someone we can truly call “a leader for the future”. The information of the rest of our speakers is getting ready to be released very soon, so please keep your eyes on the speaker information on our website.
