Leadership

Kenichi Uchikura

Founder / CEO

Kenichi is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University in California where in 1983 he earned a business degree with a minor in computer programming. After graduating, he returned to Japan and began working for a computer science company in Osaka. In 1985, he was sent to Seattle as a General Manager to open an operation to license and export PC software to Japan. When the Japanese company decided to pull out from their US operations, he started Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. to continue what he started in the US - exporting software to Japan. The rest is history.

Office culture and PSPups

"We bought our building for the dogs," admits Ken. And when you walk into our Bellevue office, you will likely be greeted by a few of them. We take our work very seriously, but we also know the value of doing it in a comfortable environment.

We pride ourselves on hard work, mutual respect for one another and making time for a little fun. We are also proud to be one of the largest and fastest-growing minority-owned businesses in the region, having earned the title of U.W. William D. Bradford Minority Business of the Year in 2014.
