Flywheel Talent Solutions, a specialist talent partner focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and Physical AI, today announced that Andrew Peters has joined the company as Partner in its Tokyo office.
Peters brings extensive experience in executive search and technology recruitment in Japan and across the Asia-Pacific region. Throughout his career, he has advised founders, venture capital firms, and enterprise leaders on identifying and attracting senior talent in highly competitive and rapidly evolving technology markets.
At Flywheel, Peters will work with companies operating at the convergence of advanced machine learning and physical systems, including robotics, automation, autonomous technologies, advanced manufacturing, and other deep-tech industries. He will also help expand Flywheel's executive search and talent advisory capabilities in Japan and across Asia.
“Andrew is one of the most experienced and well-connected search professionals in the Tokyo technology market. He understands that exceptional recruiting is not simply about filling a position — it is about understanding a company's strategy, earning the trust of its leadership, and finding the people capable of building its future. His experience, judgment, and long-standing relationships make him an ideal partner as we build Flywheel into the leading talent firm for AI, robotics, and Physical AI.” — Michael Popov, Founder and CEO, Flywheel Talent Solutions
Peters joins Flywheel at a pivotal moment for the industry.

“AI and robotics are beginning to reshape nearly every major industry, and Japan has an important role to play in that transformation. Flywheel has a clear vision and a highly focused market position. I am excited to join Michael and the team and to help companies across Japan and Asia recruit the world-class talent they need to turn ambitious technology into commercial reality.” — Andrew Peters, Partner, Flywheel Talent Solutions
