Message
Empowering Your Vision.
Leading the Way to Action.
Based in Tokyo for 11 years, I built my career in B2B corporate sales, starting at a high-growth startup and later moving to one of Japan’s leading HR firms.
As a proven project leader, I have supported over 800 clients and managed 1,500 recruitment projects, ranging from SMEs to large enterprises, driving strategic organizational growth.
Driven by a lifelong dream to become a global professional and broaden my horizons, I chose to redefine my career path at 35.
After language studies in Toronto and working with a London-based venture, where I supported HR operations in an international environment, I built on these insights, relocated to the Netherlands in 2026, and launched my own business.
"It is never too late to redefine who you are. The world is always yours to expand."
Powered by this journey, my mission is to empower organizations and projects navigating crucial transitions, providing the strategic options needed to succeed.
As a practitioner who walks the talk, I am here to be your ultimate partner—turning vision into action with shared excitement.

Services
01
B2B Sales Strategy & Optimization
Hands-on sales and process optimization for European enterprises expanding into the Japanese B2B market or restructuring existing operations. Leveraging over 11 years of corporate sales experience in Tokyo, I provide strategic insights to navigate Japan's unique business culture. I collaborate seamlessly across your organization—with European headquarters, European-based Japan desks, or local teams in Japan. Working as an extension of your team, I drive everything from establishing lead-generation frameworks to long-term branding.
*Note: This service focuses on strategy and optimization, not direct execution like cold calling. However, I can connect you with trusted local agencies and help manage them to ensure seamless operations.

Tailored support for global enterprises navigating recruitment and organization building in Japan. Operating from the Netherlands, I provide real-time collaboration with European headquarters. Backed by 11 years in sales/HR—including my tenure at Recruit Co., Ltd.—and my expertise as a certified Career Consultant, I bring firsthand experience in Japan’s work culture and mid-career hiring landscape. Acting as a strategic bridge, I align HQ's vision with local realities to build high-performing Japanese teams.
*Note: I operate as an internal talent partner (not an agency), but can introduce trusted local recruitment networks if needed.
