I am a sales and operations executive with more than 20 years of experience helping international companies enter, operate, and grow in Japan and across APAC. I specialize in Employer of Record (EoR), multi-country payroll, RPO, SaaS, executive recruitment, and consultative enterprise sales. I have established and led Japan operations for multiple US-based companies, including several as the first local hire. My work spans go-to-market strategy, revenue planning, pricing, pipeline development, partnership building, client delivery, P&L ownership, recruiting, licensing, and local operational setup. I have sold to and managed relationships with Japanese and global multinational clients across industries including technology, pharmaceuticals, finance, manufacturing, and professional services. Most recently, I lead revenue strategy for an early-stage AI SaaS company, developing its GTM approach, pricing, sales infrastructure, partnerships, investor outreach, and early customer acquisition. Previously, I served as Country Manager for global EoR, payroll, and RPO businesses in Japan, building local teams, growing enterprise pipelines, and guiding overseas leadership through Japan and APAC expansion. I work effectively as a bridge between Japanese stakeholders and global headquarters teams. I bring an executive-level, practical approach to market entry, growth strategy, complex sales, local operations, and cross-border relationship management.
