Career History
Born and raised in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
1998 – 2003
Entered the National Defense Academy in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, majoring in Applied Physics and training as a Ground Self-Defense Force officer. Completed further training at the Officer Candidate School in Kurume City before retiring.
2003 – 2004
Mastered English during a three-month stay in the United States by putting a self-developed method into practice. For the final month, travelled across America as a backpacker on a budget of 70,000 yen.
2004
Hired as the first Japanese person to join the multinational corporation management program at Danfoss, Denmark's largest manufacturer of control equipment.
2004 – 2005
Identified a solution to a major challenge in the Japanese market: decision-making distortions stemming from differences in thought processes between cultures. Presented it to management, including the vice president of the Danish headquarters, shaping later Japan-market strategy.
2005
Joined a project for a major US retailer's entry into the Japanese market, coordinating between Japan and the US and localizing store-management systems.
2006 – 2008
Found a solution to sluggish global supply-chain KPIs, directing the Danish headquarters and country directors across 14 countries. The reforms drove significant reductions in inventory and air-freight costs.
2008
Returned to Japan and joined Accenture's Management Consulting Division.
2009 – 2010
Analyzed vast data to identify direct-material cost reductions in development and purchasing, and introduced modular design methodologies that improved product-development lead time and cost efficiency.
2010 – 2011
Managed a project spanning clients across Europe, Asia, and Japan alongside Accenture Europe, achieving cost reductions beyond target.
2011
Worked with client leaders to visualize project status and the mechanisms behind issues, enabling decisions at both Tokyo and European headquarters and mitigating business risk.
2011 – 2013
Ran on-site surveys of overseas factories, visualized the drivers of supply-chain problems, and supported the simultaneous deployment of global projects across multiple locations.
2012
Completed the Sahara Marathon, a self-sufficient race covering roughly 250km over seven days across the world's largest desert.
2013 – 2014
Joined the Corporate Strategy Department, responsible for planning and driving a range of major projects.
2014.10
Created a hybrid model combining management cultures from around the world, forming teams of talent from diverse nationalities and backgrounds to solve social issues through business.
2015.1
Built to close the gap in leadership and management-skill development for global business. Supported global talent development for leading consulting firms and manufacturers, and global communication skills for professionals, investors, and executives.
2019
Onedrops' SPARKDOJO project was certified as a J-Startup support company by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
May 2020 – Sep 2021
Stood up a new department to execute mission-based, highly abstract work quickly and with high commitment, free of existing operational constraints, involving key transformation personnel early with thorough follow-up.
2021.10 – Current
Shifted to providing professional capabilities (leadership, specialized skills, and unique networks) to help clients navigate extreme market changes, revenue shifts, and work-style and organizational challenges. Management support, project support, and human-resource development are the core service pillars.
Events / Seminars
Projects, lectures, seminars, and interviews tailored to the specific challenges and interests of each organization, with a track record across companies, government agencies, schools, and events. Media coverage and article-writing requests are welcome.
Global Network
Beyond statistics, we provide raw, on-the-ground information, voices, and frank impressions. That honest feedback lets us mitigate preconceptions, decision-making distortions, and risks that arise from differences in values between cultures.
