Founder & Senior Advisor, Workato APJ / VP & GM, Workato Japan

Tokyo, Japan

About

I’m an entrepreneur, business builder, and cross-border leader focused on helping enterprises drive measurable outcomes through automation and AI adoption. I currently serve as Vice President and General Manager for Workato Japan, and Senior Advisor for Workato Asia Pacific, where I founded and scaled Workato’s APAC business. Over the past decade, I’ve worked closely with CEOs, CIOs, and senior leaders across Japan, Singapore, and the US to modernize operations, connect systems, and orchestrate end-to-end workflows that improve speed, productivity, and resilience. I’m especially passionate about helping organizations move beyond AI experimentation toward practical adoption that creates real business impact. Outside of work, I enjoy bringing people together and building communities through volunteer leadership and board roles, including the Singapore Chamber of Commerce in Japan. I’m energized by creating from zero, scaling with great teams, and turning ambitious ideas into reality.
