Greg Rozitis

I am a Business Development Professional with a focus on developing Japanese & Canadian markets.   Much of my work has focused on developing new markets for technologies, products, and applications on both sides of the Pacific. 

After completing my undergraduate degree in Economics at UBC in 1991, I was recruited to be the head coach of Kansai University’s ice hockey team in Osaka, where I continued my studies at the Faculty of International Commerce.   In 1993, I started my business career when I initiated a market entry initiative alongside the BC Government Trade Office in Kobe. It was during this period that I first connected with past and present members of the current CCCJ. 

Over the next 30 years, I continued forming strong relationships with Japanese and Canadian government organizations and commercial enterprises with my work in Japanese corporations and as a self-employed consultant.  

I have been involved with the CCCJ over the years helping organize several energy-related events and I am currently a part of the Chamber's Energy Committee.  

As a former professional hockey player, I understand the importance of being a team player and leading by example.  The Chamber is volunteer driven and having team players on the board who bring forth fun and interesting initiatives, is vital for the growth of the Chamber.   I have been involved and enjoyed volunteering with organizations such as the Canada-Japan Society of British Columbia to help promote the cultural and commercial ties between our countries.

Currently, I am based in Tokyo as a representative of the Invest Alberta Corporation.  Invest Alberta is a crown corporation of the province of Alberta which promotes investment into Canada. My current position enables me to engage with both Japanese and Canadian corporations and to speak with them about the benefits of becoming members of and getting involved with the CCCJ.

I look forward to serving as Governor of the CCCJ for 2024-25.
