I help international companies understand complex food regulations and develop practical strategies for market entry and ingredient commercialization.
With more than 10 years of experience in the food and functional ingredient industry, I specialize in regulatory strategy and B2B business development for probiotics, microbiome-related ingredients, and plant-based materials.
I have worked across Japan, the United States, and Southeast Asia, supporting companies that want to introduce functional ingredients into new markets.
What I can help you with

• ASEAN regulatory navigation (Thailand, Singapore, etc.)
• Market entry strategy for food, beverage, and supplement companies
• Competitive and regulatory landscape reports

Professional Experience
In my previous role as General Manager of a US subsidiary, I built a B2B sales organization from the ground up and exceeded annual revenue targets by 160% through strategic multi-year contracts.
My regulatory experience includes:
• 3 successful US FDA GRAS notifications
• 7 functional ingredient registrations with the Thai FDA
I combine regulatory knowledge with real commercial experience, helping companies move from regulatory uncertainty to actionable market strategies.
If you are planning to launch food or supplement products in Japan or ASEAN, I would be happy to support your project.
