I provide various types of consulting for projects involving US/Japan project management and communication facilitation.

If your company is getting “Lost in Translation” and somehow, misunderstandings keep on happening with your Japan team, Tokyo subsidiary, Osaka HQ, Japanese clients, etc. etc. give me a call. I can also advise Japanese executives on how to manage Americans, and visa versa.

I’ve lived in the US for over 20 years (since 11 yrs old), but my parents are in Japan and I go there often enough to stay in tune with what’s happening over there (which is now mostly observable online anyhow). I attended Japanese schools on Saturdays back when we lived in Dallas, and I went to two years of high-school in Tokyo and graduated there, before coming to NY on my own. I have two passports. I am completely bilingual in both languages – and read voraciously in both.
