For me, leadership is expressed as usefulness. As managing partner at NEO, my goal is to be useful to our clients through expertise, to our candidates through my network, and to our team through experience.


15 years in the field of executive search gave me the opportunity to build NEO Search Partners as the market place where supply and demand of top level talent meets.

I’ve spent nearly a third of my life living and building businesses in Japan, and more than 20 years working across different industries, markets, and international environments. Growing up internationally taught me early on that business is ultimately about people - understanding them, building trust, and building relationships that last.


That mindset has shaped NEO Search Partners. I believe reputation is earned over time, and that long-term partnerships will always matter more than short-term wins. Whether it’s helping companies navigate Japan’s hiring landscape or connecting people and opportunities across borders, my approach has always been relationship-driven, honest, and focused on doing things properly.
