My Story

I have spent more than 35 years working across Japan, Switzerland and international markets, building experience in finance, investment, cross-border business, family office matters and board-level roles.

As an investor, I have a particular interest in AI and emerging technologies in the US and China, while maintaining a deep connection to Japanese technology, culture and craftsmanship.

Japan is not simply a market of interest to me. It is deeply connected to my background, professional experience and cultural roots.

Today, I remain selectively involved in advisory engagements, investments and projects that genuinely interest me and where I believe I can contribute meaningful value.

Short Biography

I began my career at Ernst & Young, where I spent nearly 20 years as Head of the Japan Desk in Zurich, providing comprehensive support from an international perspective to Japanese multinational companies, business owners, executives, and their families.

Subsequently, in Switzerland and Japan, I have been engaged in advisory work covering family office services, wealth preservation, succession planning, taxation, and governance.

I have served as a director on seven boards to date.

Currently, I focus on selective, dialogue-driven advisory and investment activities, aligned with the phases of life and business.
