🌐 Bilingual Digital Transformation Leader | Over 25 Years of Expertise in Web-Based IT and Cross-Cultural Collaboration

“Digital Transformation (DX) is not just about introducing new technologies—it’s about transforming corporate culture. With over 25 years of experience in web-based IT business, I have led numerous global digital projects, bridging technology and business strategy.”

Career Overview & Achievements

My journey in the digital field began in 1997 when I launched and managed “30’s BAR,” an online community website. This passion project, which I ran for over eight years, attracted more than 1 million annual visitors and over 10,000 members. It became the catalyst for my career in IT and digital transformation. Through self-learning, I acquired skills in HTML, Perl, JavaScript, and web design, which fueled my passion for leveraging technology to connect people and solve problems.

Subsequently, I worked at the Australian Embassy Tokyo as the Webmaster for both the Australia-Japan Foundation and the Embassy’s Public Relations and Cultural Affairs Department. I managed the official embassy website, “Australia WEB,” and achieved remarkable results, increasing page views from 500,000 to 2.5 million per month. Additionally, I edited and distributed e-newsletters to 24,000 subscribers and used Majordomo – Great Circle Associates’ mailing list management software to handle “oz-ezine” distribution. I was also responsible for the technical management of website hosting.

I regularly collaborated with Australian government agencies in Japan, such as the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), the Queensland Government Tokyo Office, and the Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA). My role involved consulting on web marketing and effective website utilization. I also managed the MLA website project, further strengthening my skills in bridging cultural gaps.

Building on this experience, I honed my expertise in digital strategy, web development, and SEO by founding Webmake Ltd.. Over the years, I delivered SEO-driven web solutions to more than 300 clients, achieving a 100% success rate in top-ranking results. These efforts dramatically improved the online presence of businesses across various industries.

From life sciences to e-commerce, I have leveraged my ability to bridge cultural and operational gaps to drive B2B integration and implement digital solutions that foster growth. My passion for connecting people through technology continues to fuel my commitment to advancing in-house digital transformation and cross-cultural collaboration.
