Description

I am a Senior Geopolitical Risk Consultant based in Brussels with over 30 years of experience across Japan, China, Europe, and the US. Formerly an investigative journalist for Yomiuri Shimbun and a strategic advisor within the diplomatic and corporate sectors, I specialize in identifying hidden macroeconomic risks and supply chain vulnerabilities. I bridge the gap between complex East Asian market data and European strategic interests, providing actionable intelligence for high-stakes decision-making.
