I'm interested in connecting with professionals passionate about digital product leadership and lean portfolio management. I'm currently exploring ways to enhance my strategic approach to product development and delivery while optimizing resource allocation across multiple initiatives. I'd love to exchange insights about how others are implementing product operating model at the portfolio level and discuss emerging trends in digital product strategy. I'm particularly curious about how leaders in this space balance innovation with operational efficiency in their organizations.

Career/field of interest:

I practice family law (divorce, custody, etc.) in Raleigh, North Carolina. I am originally from Japan and moved back and forth across the Pacific as a child. I did investment banking at Lehman Brothers after college and before law school. After graduating from HLS in 2012, I practiced corporate law in NY. Since switching over to family law I have finally found meaning in my work and a career that I am truly passionate about. I am excited to connect with other Harvard alumni who are similarly passionate about what they do.

I started a company called The Wishes Co.

We support many local small vendors, and have a social mission of employing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to fulfill orders. We are looking to expand, find a location with a partner, and develop more supplier and customer relationships. If we can serve your organization or any other group or person you can think of, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect!
