Building businesses, expanding into new markets, and transforming operations have been defining themes throughout my career. From launching MUFG Securities Canada to establishing a Latin American derivatives franchise and modernizing international trading infrastructure, I have focused on turning strategic opportunities into measurable business results. My career began as an analyst at MUFG in New York, progressing to Managing Director and ultimately Head of Rates Sales & Trading for the Americas.
As Head of Rates, I managed over 40 professionals, full P&L accountability, and responsibility for reporting business performance to a member of the MUFG Securities Americas Board. I established commercial priorities, directed client coverage and product development, and delivered 10% year-over-year revenue growth. My responsibilities also included capital and balance sheet allocation across U.S. fixed-income businesses and European interest rate derivatives operations.
Beyond day-to-day business leadership, I played a central role in strategic expansion and operational transformation. The launch of MUFG Securities Canada supported international client needs and contributed to a 75% increase in Americas Central Funding revenue in its first year. I also repositioned the securities financing business into a centralized funding function to improve balance sheet efficiency and resource allocation. Additionally, I directed an international trading platform modernization initiative that reduced operating costs by 10%.
More recently, I founded Nogaki Global Advisory, working with financial institutions and technology companies on international business development, strategic partnerships, market entry, and operational transformation. My work includes helping Japanese technology companies expand into the U.S. market and identifying opportunities to modernize financial services workflows through automation and advanced analytics.
I am drawn to leadership opportunities where I can combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, particularly in business expansion, organizational transformation, and technology-driven growth. I enjoy bringing together people across different cultures and functions, developing new commercial opportunities, and solving complex business challenges. I am especially interested in how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies will reshape industries and create opportunities for companies willing to adapt and innovate.
