I enjoy my consulting boutique “Yamamoto Consulting LLC” immensely and the knowledge that I am never the first-person people call. I work only by personal referral and create highly personalized solutions after the standard methodologies have already been attempted and failed. Extensive experience in International Cross Border Transactions and Global Business Development. I maintain a broad network of professional contacts located around the globe and work personally on all solutions and implementations.
