Hi, I’m Micky. I was born and raised in Japan. I have spent 30+ years selling, leading teams, and building partnerships across Japanese and global organizations. I love Japan and the people who shaped how I lead, sell, and show up.
If you’re working in Japan or with Japan and want results that endure, I’m here to help build partnerships that feel good and ultimately help you win big in Japan.
My belief is simple: business goes beyond companies—it’s built person to person. Deals close because people trust each other. Partnerships endure because we keep our word. Your everyday actions—the listening, the follow‑ups, the small wins, the steady consistency—shape the friendships that carry the work.
What I do here is translate cultural nuances into clear, respectful moves you can use right away. I help Western professionals avoid missteps, align faster, and become true partners, not “just another vendor.” You’ll find practical guidance grounded in sincerity: how to read the room, ask better questions, structure meetings, navigate silence, and invest in relationships that last.
