Bilingual sales professional driving revenue through relationship-led account management and domain name brokerage.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual Sales Professional who drives results through strategic prospecting, strong customer relationships, and confident negotiations. I bring an entrepreneurial, detail-focused mindset shaped by running operations hands-on and later scaling growth through domain name brokerage and business development.
In food entrepreneurship, I achieved a 4.9 UberEats rating and generated over 7 million yen in sales within a one-year period as a Deli Owner and Operator. I adapted quickly through COVID-19 disruptions and managed shifting costs and market pressures with resilience and financial agility.
In Tokyo’s technology and talent markets, I facilitated 100+ mid to executive-level recruiting searches monthly at Optia Partners, connecting top candidates to companies and educating clients with data-backed market trends. I continuously researched technology, key companies, and in-demand jobs to help clients maximize competitiveness.
As Managing Director at Domainmatch, I brokered aftermarket domain names and secured pace-setting revenue growth of 130% while gaining market share. I also supported operational and procedural needs as a key point of contact, and I’ve consistently applied research, process improvement, and clear communication to help teams and clients succeed.
