I have worked extensively with Japanese owned companies for the last 17 years, including 15 years as partner.
My first involvement was as a signing director, when I led the audits of a number of small and medium sized Japanese subsidiaries. Over time, my own client base has grown significantly, and I now work almost exclusively with Japanese clients, including a number of EMEA headquarters of some very large Japanese companies.
For the last 7 years I have also led the Deloitte Japanese Services Group in the UK, leading the team which provides all Deloitte services to our Japanese clients. Within this role I interact with a large team within the UK, across EMEA and globally. The extensive network and commitment to working with Japanese companies provides a tailored service and seamless global communication.
As a result of these roles, I have visited Japan many times and had many amazing experiences, visiting many parts of Japan and meeting a huge number of people, within Deloitte and also at clients. I thoroughly enjoy each visit to Japan, including the culture, food, people and scenery, and I still look forward to each visit even after having been many times.
