Bio

Born in Osaka, Japan and educated in USA.

Trained as a critical thinker with Master of Arts in Humanities.

in 1979-1980, hired as a sales associate of a translation company in Osaka, working with Panasonic, Mitsubishi Auto and other major Japanese companies. Discovered as a skilled translator by the owner of the company and trained to translate From English to Japanese.

Later, began working for a Japanese trading company in USA.

Spent over 30 years managing the subsidiary and expanding its business to California and Mexico.

Built a company from ground up writing corporate by-laws and developed logistics and fulfillment business globally. Very familiar with implementation of ERP and E-commerce. 

Retired as CEO/President and advisor from the company in 2017.

Began working for a global commercial real estate company to develop an international service line. Completed over $14.5 million real estate deals, including office and warehouse leases.

While managing the Japanese company, I was also engaged in freelance translation and interpreting. 

Some of the interesting assignments include Language evaluator for a major US airlines and grade the crew's Japanese language proficiency. Also provide Japanese abstracts of professional and trade journals for a major publication company.

Recently returning to freelance translation and interpretation. Just completed Corvid-19 related interpretation. 

Business related translation and interpretation is my forte. I have traveled extensively in China, Korea and Mexico for sourcing of products sold in USA. I am very fit for international business practice and relationship.
