Building a better working world
"I provide auditing and advisory services to help raise corporate value for venture companies and businesses in Japan’s core media and entertainment and technology sectors. If EY’s clients are successful, my hope is that Japan will produce a new company capable of driving the global economy.
I always favour meeting face-to-face and having frank and honest discussions to identify a client’s needs and devise the best solutions. This approach guides my work every day."
