Edward Kuroki

Eddie is an accomplished strategic communication, development principal and philomath with a career dedicated to fostering intercultural understanding and advancing democratic resilience.

Born in Japan and educated in the United States, he has devoted his professional life to bridging cultures and perspectives. He draws on over 30 years of leadership experience spanning academia, business, government, science and technology, and the non-profit sector, which has enabled him to interpret complex issues through multiple lenses.

Operating at the intersection of innovation, diplomacy, and social impact, Eddie's work is characterized by its analytical rigor and human-centered approach to cultivating dialogue across cultural, ideological, and disciplinary boundaries.

With a deep and varied background in technology and international relations, his career highlights include a wide array of significant contributions. He previously served as a Research Fellow for the Boston University Center for International Relations, where he contributed to NASA's Man-System Integration Standards at the Johnson Space Center. Demonstrating expertise in large-scale technological deployment, he was responsible for establishing the International Maglev Technology Center in Boston, managing the U.S. Department of Transportation contract to oversee the transfer of magnetically levitated high-speed transportation systems.

His professional trajectory also includes key roles at multiple global internet content and application service companies, which were later acquired by major infrastructure corporations, including Colt Technology Services and Oracle.

Since 2001, he has served as Senior Managing Director at a Boston-based research organization, concurrently leading various international initiatives. These engagements focus on fostering knowledge exchange, intercultural dialogue, and peace-building across multiple global projects and entities.

Eddie is the creator and facilitator of  "ƐI-Terrace," a dedicated platform for advanced dialogue. Through it, he has driven over four hundred global discussions (as of October 2025), demonstrably strengthening resilience and fostering inclusivity across all generations and backgrounds.

Prior to this, he authored over one hundred articles for JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) titled "VENTURE BUSINESS FRONT LINE" between 2001 and 2011.

He is also the co-creator of "Algorithms for Peace" — a proprietary framework that combines cognitive empathy, structured debate, and narrative reasoning to cultivate cross-cultural understanding.  This framework is under development, and planned for implementation by a UN Agency, University, or NGO.

In parallel, he leads a humanitarian initiative, exploring the role of music and creative collaboration in trauma healing among war survivors in Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, and other regions of the world since its inception in 2022. (IN PROGRESS)
