In international business, outcomes often depend on nuance. As a native Japanese speaker and conference interpreter working across Japanese, English, and German, I support clear and reliable communication where technical accuracy, strategic intent, and cultural expectations must align. My role is to ensure that decision-makers work with precise and dependable information.

Professional scope

I work across sectors including corporate governance, IT compliance, life sciences, and culture, media & consumer insights. This range has given me a solid understanding of different professional logics and decision-making structures.

By operating between technical environments and leadership-level forums, I maintain an overview of the corporate value chain. This enables me to identify interdependencies efficiently and communicate them accurately in digital transformation projects, regulated settings, and culturally sensitive contexts.

Cross-cultural communication

Effective cooperation between Japan and Western business environments requires an understanding of differing communication conventions. I work between Japan’s consensus-oriented, indirect style and the explicit, results-focused communication common in international business.

Implicit considerations are made accessible to Western stakeholders, while direct communication is conveyed in a manner that remains appropriate and constructive for Japanese counterparts. This helps reduce friction and supports stable working relationships.

Professional standards

I have over 13 years of experience in confidential and high-stakes settings, including strategic negotiations, board meetings, audits, and governance processes. I am a full member of the VKD (Association of Conference Interpreters in Germany) and adhere to strict professional and confidentiality standards.

Clients and agencies rely on my work for accurate transmission of technical and strategic content, early identification of cultural risks, and communication that supports informed decision-making.

For projects requiring reliable communication between Japan and international stakeholders, I am available to support conference and high-level professional engagements.
