Paul & Dave Takisaki.
Two brothers. One studio.
Takisaki Strategy is the studio of Paul Takisaki and Dave Takisaki. Two brothers. Both former Verizon executives. We walked away from the corporate ladder to build. Now we ship new products most months and advise small and medium-sized businesses on sales, strategy, and AI.
Paul Takisaki
Founder, Takisaki Strategy · Founder & CEO, HeritageWhisper
Paul spent 20 years at Verizon, moving from a mall kiosk to Associate Vice President and leading 450+ people across technical sales and customer success. Four trips to the President's Cabinet. Twelve promotions. Four markets turned around.
He walked away at the top of his game to found HeritageWhisper, a voice-first platform that turns family photos into a living timeline with the stories behind them. At Takisaki Strategy his focus is strategy and building with AI.
"I don't play the game. I rewire it."
