International Business × Sustainable Development
Bridging Business and Sustainable Development.
Drawing on expertise in international trade, investment and responsible business, I develop and advance initiatives that address development challenges while creating sustainable economic opportunities across borders.
01 / About Me
Where international business meets sustainable development.
Building on over a decade in global trade, investment and business development at Sumitomo Corporation, a Japanese Fortune Global 500 trading and investment company, I bring a business perspective to international development through my work at the International Labour Organization (ILO), a UN specialized agency.
My work bridges international business and sustainable development, spanning trade and investment, responsible supply chains, business and human rights, and the creation of inclusive economic opportunities across Africa and Asia.
I focus on identifying opportunities, assessing their potential, and developing initiatives that deliver both economic and development outcomes.
