About Me
My deep understanding of Japanese businesses and markets outside Japan helps our Japanese clients make their business expansion and investment successful.
I head our global Business Development to support Japanese companies from our Hong Kong office. I deliver business insights in multiple markets where Japanese companies consider investing in together with our local offices and our consulting arm, OXYGY.I also support local government bodies which aim to attract Japanese investors to bring their business into their countries. I arrange training, seminars and delegation with those local country organisations and Japanese organisations including JETRO and Japanese Chamber of Commerce. I am a member of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in London, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Stockholm, Helsinki and Hong Kong.
I joined Bird & Bird in 2017 after working for one of the major international law firms in Tokyo.
