As the only female headhunter from a PE fund and VC background in Japan, she provides the industry's highest level of career development opportunities in the fund and CxO fields, from providing non-public information to helping candidates prepare for LBO models and investment case interviews, by using her in-depth knowledge gained from her professional investment work.

Prior to working as a headhunter, she was the first female manager at an independent PE fund, where she was responsible for a wide range of tasks including deal sourcing, investment execution, value enhancement and executive recruitment. Later, in response to the growing social demand for SDGs/ESG investments, she joined Japan's first VC specialising in healthcare and became a venture capitalist, making social impact investments. She engaged in sourcing and investing in venture companies, providing management support to investee companies, and conducting social impact assessments.

During the covid pandemic, she started a business with wellness experts from Europe and USA in healthcare services for athletes, including professional baseball players.

Currently based between Itoshima (Fukuoka) and Tokyo, she enjoys surfing and visiting hot springs in her campervan on her days off.
