After graduating from university, I interned at a social venture company in Canada. After returning to Japan, I worked as a corporate sales representative for an automotive parts manufacturer in Europe and Asia. I was transferred to a boarding school and was involved in international career education, and then changed careers, working both in new business development for an education company and in Japan for a U.S. NPO. I established “innovate with,” a design office for transforming people, organizations, and society, in 2015. I am involved in creating an ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurship throughout Japan, while connecting outside foundations and investors with Japanese social entrepreneurs to develop impact strategies, support implementation, and evaluation. I joined the foundation’s Impact Economy Lab in 2023 to connect the world’s knowledge of social change to the Japanese scene. I have a Master’s degree in Social Business and Entrepreneurship from the Graduate School of Political Economy in the UK.
