It is also a play on my first name: Tetsu. A good friend came up with “TETSUNAGI”, and it immediately clicked, as holding the figurative hands of my clients is exactly what I do, whether the clients are Japanese members taking their projects global, or global clients navigating the wildly difficult environment in Japan. I have been managing communication across languages, cultures, and disciplines over my 20+ years of experience working in Japanese pharma/CRO/academia, mostly as a project manager or liaison in clinical development, but I have also leveraged my communication skills in all other areas of drug development, including pre-clinical, business development, regulatory, etc. I am uniquely suited to do what I do thanks to the combination of my cultural-linguistic skills with my scientific training and business knowledge. Specifically, I speak English, Japanese, French, Mandarin, and Spanish fluently, and have lived for 10+ years each in Taiwan, Japan, and Canada. Also, I hold a PhD in cellular and molecular biology and an MBA in finance and international management. So next time your project manager is stumped trying to figure out what the Japan team wants, think of TETSUNAGI. Or perhaps you need help pitching your project to a Japanese sponsor? TETSUNAGI. Or even more simply, you want to explore the Japanese market and you don’t know where to start? Call TETSUNAGI, and let me hold your hand as we navigate the complexities of doing business in Japan together.
