I've spent 2.5 years working in Japan and have traveled to 30 countries, along with eight years working in global companies. These experiences have taught me a lot about different cultures, helping me communicate well with people from all backgrounds. I use what I've learned to create communications strategies and tactics. My goal is to connect with people across borders and make a real impact through clear, thoughtful communications that connect with the audience.

Making sure the CEO's message comes through clearly and powerfully takes skill, not luck. I work closely with the CEO to deliver key messages that matter to the company. I’m experienced in crafting clear, compelling stories that connect with a wide range of people, inside and outside the organization. My goal is to share the CEO’s vision in a way that aligns everyone and drives real engagement.

From growing up in a small town to working at major companies like Hitachi, my path shows my strong commitment to and deep understanding of manufacturing.
