He has 25 years of experience in consumer related businesses, both B2B2C and B2C. During this time, he has developed a deep understanding of the Japanese market, its consumers, and the unique aspects of doing business in Japan, where trust relationships are essential.As CEO of Synnovate, he develops road maps to growth, leads the implementation, and works synergistically with the local master distributor or franchisor to achieve growth. He uses his bilingual and bicultural expertise to liaise and create a trust relationship with the distributors and partners to then innovate in products, sales and marketing channels, and activation promotional activities. As a non-Japanese, he can often see opportunities that the Japanese partners cannot and has more flexibility than a Japanese partner to do things outside the box.

His role was to find new business opportunities, devise the market strategy for sales and distribution partners, develop the organization, and subsequently run the new business.These experiences motivated him to develop the concept of strategic leadership and the five “types” of leadership that can become necessary in the growth journey of any business.Connect with Timothy:Website: https://www.synnovate.jp/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothyconnor/Connect with David Sweet:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdavidsweet/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/focuscorejp Facebook: :https://www.facebook.com/focuscoreasiaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/focuscorejp/ Website: https://www.japan.focuscoregroup.com/ “Doin' the Uptown Lowdown,” used by permission of Christopher Davis-Shannon.

This week on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with Jimmy Zelinskie, co-founder and CPO of Authzed, which is behind SpiceDB. We kicked off the discussion with a really interesting discussion about whether or not SpiceDB is a database and whether or not Authzed is a database company. At first they didn't see it that way, but as soon as they started leaning in on describing the product as a database, the more successful they were at getting people in their community to quickly understand what they did and how to use it. But it wasn't just important for adoption: Once the team realized they were a database company, the business model they should follow seemed obvious, and they could make product decisions without stepping on anyone's toes. Some topics we covered: How positioning SpiceDB as a database, and Authzed as a database company, helped everything else fall into place, from growth to product strategyWhy people often do want to avoid self-managing critical infrastructureThe difference in ideal user profile and ideal customer profilesHow transparency is the biggest benefit that Authzed gets from having an open source project. How the decision to release an open source project was a direct consequence of positioning the technology as a database.Why it is extremely important to have a decision-making framework for deciding what features will go into the open source or the proprietary features, that is communicated throughout the companyWhy open source companies need to consider the open source users and communities as one of their stakeholders that needs to be represented in strategic discussionsIf you're the founder of an open source company — or you know anyone who is — and you don't have a good framework for making product decisions or struggle to communicate internally and externally what the difference between project and product is, I can help you figure that out.
