Harada has served as science and technology writer for seventeen years at leading publications such as Asia Pacific Economic Review, Asian Entrepreneurs Network, and Northwest Asian Weekly.
He has been a founding member of several leading Internet and mobile technology companies, and has often served as a director, business development, and communications executive for these companies.
Kenji Harada and Jain met at the introduction of David Pool, then co-founder of Compuserve and board member and Bob Mccausland, then CEO, Freei Networks. He met Jain as a founding member of FreeInternet, one of the largest internet service providers in the U.S. in the late 90s and 2000 with over 3 million subscribers nationally. Naveen was Chairman of the Board and investor. Chris reported to the board on occasion and was head of Asia Pacific operations for FreeInternet.
Harada recently published an article about Jain's career in a local weekly publication in which he was nominated and awarded the 2016 Asian Technology and Innovation Award. This collaboration inspired Naveen and Chris to jointly write this book. In addition to magazines and newspapers, Chris has been published previously by the the U.S. - Japan Foundation and National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).
He was Editor/ co-Publisher, and technology reporter for the Asia Pacific Economic Review for ten years in the 1990s. During this time, he reported and published landmark stories as a member of the first official U.S. trade mission after President Clinton normalized trade relations with Viet Nam, post war Cambodia, and the peace treaty negotiated between President Fidel Ramos, Speaker Jose De Venecia, Jr., and Islamic rebel leaders in Mindanao, Philippines. Harada also led technology company trade missions which included meetings with country Presidents and Ministers throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Collectively, Chris drove sales and new business development for mobile and Internet businesses such as Freei Networks Ltd. (FreeInternet.com, now NetZero; see NASDAQ: NZRO), Bluzinger LLC, Media Lead LLC, Media Portal Japan (Softbank/ Toshiba JV subsidiary), eOrbis/ Orbis Online, Handheld Games, and MZinger LLC. He is co-founder of three of these companies.

Our health is a deeply personal matter. It is how we live and thrive. When you hear of the term gut instinct, it may now take on new meaning.
While Naveen Jain and his company Viome are diving deep into the affects of gut bacteria, microbiomes, on human body and brain health, I'm writing chapters about these innovations in health care with a focus on Viome's work. It is not only ground breaking, but could transform the health care industry and turn it on its head. This is not new for one of the leading disruptive innovators of our time, Naveen Jain.
The world's leading research entities, including MIT, Harvard and UCLA, are discovering new connections between the microbiomes in our gut and our physical and mental health.
Does this affect your bottom line? Yes, in more ways than one. This section may offer you our book's greatest insights into the workings of innovative thinking and what it takes to succeed in a business you might know very little about, and how that may not matter.
