I'm Director of Marketing & Global Strategy at Matchbox Technologies, helping our brands build deep relationships with customers that are based on trust and a relentless hustle to make their lives better. As a Japanese American who grew up in Los Angeles/Seattle, I'm passionate about blending the best parts of Japan and America into something that will change the world. Prior to joining Matchbox Technologies, I spent a lot of time helping Japanese university students and companies unlock their startup potential through a startup program that I founded, called Sekai Creator. Through Sekai Creator, I gained extensive experience working with bilingual young Japanese talent and want to create a similar environment inside of Fusion'z Holdings, where we can impact huge domestic problems like 人手不足 while staying connected to partners all over the world, from Silicon Valley to Africa. Some of the groups that I've spent a lot of time supporting include TOMODACHI Initiative, U.S.-Japan Council, TEDx, Tohmatsu Venture Support, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
