About Me

Based in Hong Kong, I provide strategic guidance and coordination to ensure the success of outbound ventures across international markets.
My work includes delivering tailored seminars and workshops in collaboration with local legal experts, offering actionable insights to help Japanese businesses navigate overseas expansion. Together with our consultancy team, we identify promising investment destinations and business opportunities aligned with our clients' goals.In addition to strategic advisory services, I serve as a project coordinator to facilitate the smooth progress and execution of cross-border initiatives. I also actively engage in investment promotion activities in partnership with regional investment agencies, particularly in areas such as the Nordics.
