Hi! I’m a social entrepreneur based in Japan.
I’m the Co-founder of mymizu – an initiative to reduce consumption of single-use plastics, and also Co-founder of Social Innovation Japan – a platform for social good focusing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
For over 10 years, I’ve worked with social enterprises, NGOs and inter-governmental organisations – including consultant roles at the World Bank and UNDP – and have managed humanitarian operations in countries such as Haiti, Nepal, Vanuatu and Mozambique.
In 2017, I took on a sponsored expedition to walk 600+kms along Japan’s coastline to document the transition since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis, and made a free online guide to help others make the journey!
I’m a Board Member of Shibuya QWS, a Board Member of Youth4Nature, and graduated with a M.A. in International Business from the University of Edinburgh. Recently, I was selected by M.I.T. Technology Review in its first-ever “Top Innovators Under 35 Japan” awards!
