I am a sustainability strategy consultant with a background in business transformation, circular economy, policy and regulatory research, and cross-border stakeholder engagement. At Deloitte Japan, I supported strategy and transformation projects across energy, utilities, financial services, industrial, and public-sector contexts. My work included circular economy vision and business strategy, plastic resource circulation and recycled material value chains, business process reform, BPO strategy and vendor assessment, policy-related research, stakeholder interviews, workshop design, and proposal development. I help organisations translate circular economy and sustainability ambitions into practical strategies, operating models, and implementation roadmaps, grounded in real transformation execution, not just frameworks. My work spans strategy design, operating model and process reform, KPI definition, and stakeholder navigation across complex, multi-market environments. Before consulting, I worked as a political and economic journalist at Jiji Press, covering Japan’s politics and the global economy. This strengthened my ability to analyse complex issues, structure information clearly, and communicate across business, policy, and international contexts. I am currently building Sept Mers Strategies while actively exploring full-time or permanent opportunities in circular economy strategy, business transformation, or sustainability strategy roles in France and Europe. Open to connecting with recruiters and hiring managers working in this space. My interest in translating across contexts started early: two years living in the US as a child, then re-integrating into Japanese society afterward. I later gave that instinct an academic foundation through a degree in Cultural Anthropology and a year studying Middle Eastern affairs in the UK.
