Masae Suga
@masaes
Translater for Japanese-English, coordinater of bilingual PR, events, and cross-border projects for startups and international stakeholders.
What I'm looking for
I support startups with bilingual PR, translation, interpretation, and cross-border project coordination, with a core focus on Sustainable Food Asia Co., Ltd. I help connect Japanese corporations, administrative agencies, and overseas foodtech startups and investors.
As a freelance Bilingual Communications & Project Manager, I've developed and distributed up to five press releases monthly, managed Japanese and English social channels, and maintained website content. I also coordinated journalists for a 200-attendee global summit spanning 10 countries and ran monthly business-matching events for 20–30 stakeholders.
I've provided consecutive interpretation at FOODEX JAPAN 2026 and supported international business matching, corporate tours, and wedding planning. My earlier work includes educating Japanese returnee students globally and managing customer relationships, study plans, billing, and sales at T.C.K. Workshop.
I also bring hospitality operations experience from Vancouver, where I supervised staffing, training, inventory, and customer success while coordinating multicultural weddings for Japanese clients and diverse guests. I'm looking to help global marketing, regional revitalization, and experiential or tourism projects move from strategy into action.
