I’m a Tokyo-based bilingual business strategist, technologist, and performer with over a decade of experience scaling global brands across Japan, the U.S. and APAC.

My core expertise lies in digital commerce, market expansion, cross-border partnerships, and executive-level storytelling in both English and Japanese. I’ve driven strategy and execution in culturally complex markets across industries including techonology, telecommunications and consumer goods at major brands including Rakuten and Apple.

I hold an MBA from Cornell University and a BA from Colgate University, with additional study at Waseda University and the Kyoto Institute of Culture and Language.

Outside work, I perform bilingual improv across Asia with Pirates of Tokyo Bay, produce music under the name DayWalk and hold certifications as a Level 3 WSET sommelier and private pilot. I’m passionate about cross-cultural collaboration, creativity, and helping ideas go global.
