I am a marketing leader with 15+ years building end-to-end growth, GTM and brand programs across education, fintech and tech-enabled services. I specialize in data-informed strategy, product-led growth, and cross-functional governance within matrix organizations to drive sustainable revenue and engaged communities. I currently base my work in Japan and am actively exploring opportunities to relocate globally to partner with ambitious teams. I thrive on collaborating with community leaders and cross-functional teams to translate complex insights into clear, actionable campaigns. At Osaka YMCA I built an end-to-end marketing cycle and led stakeholder engagement, and I founded a language school where I implemented ROI-driven governance and performance-based investments. My approach combines rigorous analytics with creative storytelling to strengthen credibility, participation, and measurable impact.
