About

On the record

Building bridges between Japan and global markets, with a primary focus on enabling international life sciences companies to enter Japan. As Managing Director at Probio Corporation, I facilitate cross-border business development for innovative companies and technologies. My work focuses on three core areas: Life Sciences Solutions Official Japan partner for leading biotech companies including Owkin (France/USA), Biorelate (UK), Intelligencia (USA), and AcademicLabs (Belgium). I bring cutting-edge AI-powered drug discovery, clinical development, and research intelligence platforms to Japanese pharmaceutical companies, while helping these international partners establish and grow their presence in Japan. Cross-Border Market Entry Extensive experience assisting foreign SMEs entering the Japanese market, as well as guiding Japanese companies toward overseas expansion. • For Japan entry: feasibility assessments, market research, regulatory guidance, partner identification, and incorporation facilitation. • For global expansion: leveraging partnerships with European and US incubators, accelerators, and business networks. My scope spans medical devices, digital therapeutics, diagnostics, and cosmetics. Business Collaboration & Ecosystem Designing flexible, project-based collaborations that unite diverse specialists to address specific business challenges. Instead of working in isolation, I coordinate expert teams as needed—enabling agile responses to complex requirements and allowing professionals to contribute on a project or side-business basis. This collaborative approach generates value through shared expertise and mutual growth. Our mission is to make cross-border business both accessible and successful through strategic collaboration and deep market insight.
