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.
