Worked and played in Tokyo for over 10 years as I led fantastic teams of marketing and recruiting experts. As a bilingual (Japanese and English) leader, my experience and management style were adapted well to the market and industry. Only two retailers in Japan have had successful in-store promotion companies dedicated to their operations, and I led both of them at different times!My proudest accomplishment was turning a startup company into a prominent marketing and recruiting player in the market. I got off of the plane in Japan with nothing but my suitcase, and had just 4 months to launch the company. Many sleepless nights later, CDS Japan became one of the most profitable in-store marketing companies in Japan. From turn-around success stories to startups, my career has spanned many countries and experiences. My expertise is in General Management, Operations, HR, and/or Sales for global companies.
