Brian Nelson was ranked in 2007 by Nikkei as one of the top ten most influential foreign entrepreneurs in Japan. As President & CEO of Value Commerce, he led the Internet affiliate marketing company in 2005 to a 49% stake sale to Yahoo Japan in the largest cash buyout Yahoo Japan has ever made. The deal was followed by one of the few IPOs offers ever orchestrated by foreign founders and a largely foreign management team.
