Short Bio:

Moved here in California from Japan in 1994 and have worked at several American IT companies in Silicon Valley such as Symantec for 20 years.

During my work at Silicon Valley, I have taken a leadership with multi-cultural teams including China, India, Japan and Europe.

Came here from Japan with typical Japan’s leadership style and Japanese mindset but I went through many different experiences with multi-cultural teams and finally built “Global” leadership style.

Now, would like to share my experiences with leaders who just came from Japan or other countries and need to put themselves into Global world.

I believe my 20 years of experiences in Silicon Valley as well as my coaching certificate I obtained in Japan would help them to get up to speed quickly since they will go through the same challenges that I have met.
