I am proud of my morals in life and work, how I treat people, what I appreciate in people. People come in all shapes, ages, and races. But what remain after conversations, conflicts and resolutions are sincerity and suchness. Business is also about people. My nature springs forward with business acumen, a love for technology - innovation, and the Art of Communicating. Participated in diverse sectors (through fundraising deals, advisory projects & fractional operating), both tech & non-tech (manufacturing, consumer, services, agriculture-aquaculture, media & entertainment, energy, education). Skilled in stakeholder engagement & aligning, investor relations, institutional communications, planning & executing strategic projects & business strategy. Hope to live better, comes presence and purpose. '今度は今度。今は今。' ('Kondo wa kondo. Ima wa ima.' - Next time is next time. Now is now.)
