I’m an international trade professional based between Turkey and Japan, working across market entry, sourcing, manufacturing, and international business development. My background combines over 5 years in international logistics (manager level) with hands-on experience in sourcing, supplier coordination, and export operations. Since 2015, I’ve been running my own trade agency, supporting companies with manufacturer sourcing, production coordination, and market entry. I’ve worked with clients across Europe, Turkey, and Japan, and I’m comfortable navigating different business cultures and supplier networks. My focus is on building reliable, long-term partnerships rather than one-off sourcing.

For 25 years, I've worked at the intersection of Japanese and global business — in roles where language, culture, and commercial reality all had to be navigated at once. The industries changed. The work didn't. Based in Tokyo, I've built my career alongside companies and clients across Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and beyond — as a bilingual professional in both Japanese and English. I understand how Japanese organizations build consensus and how global companies operate and make decisions — both from direct, hands-on experience. Having worked across luxury hospitality, fashion, F&B, beauty, and CX strategy, I've developed an adaptability and understanding of what works at the intersection of Japanese and global business — regardless of the industry. The communication and negotiation skills to move deals forward, the leadership to align people across organizational and cultural boundaries, and the strategic perspective to see the full picture while staying close to the detail — these are skills I've consistently put to use across a wide range of industries and environments. Over the course of my career: - Managed sponsorship sales and partnerships as IMG Fashion's sole Japan representative for 7 years — closing approximately $17M in deals across Tokyo and New York - Served as the operational bridge for the launch of Asia's first Time Out Market in Osaka, connecting global HQ with local partner Hankyu Hanshin Properties - Worked with organizations including Amazon, Google, L'Oréal, Shiseido, Mastercard, Rakuten, Dentsu, and Hakuhodo For 25 years, the role has been consistent — the bridge between Japanese and global organizations, between languages, between different business cultures and ways of working. Currently based in Tokyo as a freelance consultant, taking on projects across market entry, partnerships, and business development — particularly in F&B, hospitality, and events where cross-cultural fluency and on-the-ground execution experience make a difference.
