About Us
Our Expertise
Mark Kirgis
Founder & Digital Transformation Consultant
25+ years across IT consulting and enterprise digital transformation. A decade helping businesses transform through CRM, analytics, data, marketing automation, and content management solutions, followed by 15 years at Bayer Crop Science leading large-scale digital initiatives across EMEA. Now based in Yokohama, helping Japanese businesses compete on the global stage.
Our Story
Bionis was born from a simple observation: Japanese small and mid-sized businesses have incredible products and services, but often lack the digital infrastructure to reach their full potential. We bridge that gap by bringing international best practices in CRM, AI, marketing automation, and web presence directly to the Japanese market.
Our Mission
We believe that every business in Japan deserves access to world-class digital tools and strategies. Our mission is to deliver tailored, data-driven digital transformation that drives real engagement and measurable growth. We combine international best practices with deep understanding of the Japanese market to create solutions that truly work.
