'Kioxia of today wouldn't exist' under Toshiba, Bain dealmaker says

Kioxia Holdings, now the largest Japanese company by market capitalization, was previously a division of Toshiba before being acquired by Bain Capital in 2018. Yuji Sugimoto, who represented Bain Capital in Japan during the acquisition, stated that Kioxia could not have achieved its current success while remaining part of Toshiba. The separation allowed Kioxia to operate independently and pursue growth strategies that were not possible under Toshiba's structure. This development highlights the significant transformation of Kioxia since its acquisition.
