At CHEMICAN, I architected a U.S. market-entry entity for compliance software concepts serving industrial and regulated use cases. I also established readiness for federal acquisition by coordinating compliance with NCAGE and SAM.gov requirements.

As Co-founder of CLOSER ROBOTICS, I directed strategic planning and operational execution as annual revenue scaled to 200M JPY. I secured $10M USD through venture equity and non-dilutive funding and achieved METI J-Startup status.

At ACTIE, I managed $300M in cross-border M&A transaction volume and executed four corporate M&A deals. This work helped a client expand international sales from 0% to almost 30% and add $450M USD to the top line.

Earlier, I supported financial modeling, valuation, and transaction execution for TMT IPOs and M&A at MORGAN STANLEY JAPAN. My experience also includes operational coordination at THE POKÉMON COMPANY INTERNATIONAL and regional operations support at TULLY’S COFFEE INTERNATIONAL.
