Summary

Robotics Business Development, Super Recognizer(-ish). Business Development and Field operations specialist with a proven ability to navigate and activate complex, multilingual environments across international sports, education, and technology. In the international sports domain, I have supported multiple global competitions—including the Deaflympics (Orienteering) and World Ski Orienteering Championships (WSOC)2026—where I oversaw on-site operations, safety management, and athlete support. I adaptively leverage English, Chinese, and Japanese Sign Language to prevent issues before they surface and to create environments where all participants can perform at their best. In education, I contributed to NHK’s multilingual workshop at SXSW EDU as both presenter and operations staff. I have also taught programming courses for students from elementary to high school, and was selected as the corporate representative instructor for a Ministry of Education–observed research class. These experiences reflect my strength in facilitating information flow and participant engagement in dynamic, real-world settings. In the technology field, I served as PMO for the SoftBank Hawks “Robot Cheer Squad” project, successfully launching a 100-person Japan–U.S. operations team in a short timeframe and contributing to the success of the unmanned stadium event. I excel at working in the intersections between people, cultures, technologies, and on-the-ground operations, driving results in environments that require autonomy, adaptability, and cross-cultural collaboration delivering by my super-recognizer skills (top10% score by UNSW Face test, top6.5% score by Glasgow Face Matching Test(GFMT)) 国際スポーツ・国際教育・テクノロジーの現場を横断して“場面を瞬時に認識して動かす”ことを得意とするフィールドオペレーション実務者。 国際スポーツ分野ではデフリンピック(オリエンテーリング)やスキーオリエンテーリング世界選手権2026をはじめ、複数の国際大会で現場運用・安全管理・アスリートサポートを担当。さらに英語・中国語・手話を状況によって使い分け、トラブルを未然に防ぎ全員が輝ける場作りに貢献。 教育分野ではSXSW EDUのNHKによる異言語ワークショップで発表・運営を担当したほか、プログラミング講座の講師として小学生から高校生までを指導、文部科学省視察の高校研究公開授業にも企業連携授業の代表として指名されるなど、現場で“人と情報の流れを整える”ファシリテーションに強みを持つ。 テクノロジー分野ではソフトバンクホークスのロボット応援団プロジェクトにPMOとして参画し、日米100名規模の運用を短期間で立ち上げ成功へ導いた。 人と人、文化と文化、技術と現場の“境界”をつなぎ、高裁量の環境で成果を出すことを強みとする。 スーパーレコグナイザースキルあり(UNSW Face テスト(受験者6300名)で上位10%、Glasgow Face Matching Test(GFMT)で上位6.5%)
