Director of Operations and Projects
ZAIKODirector of Operations and Projects
Dec. 2019 - Aug. 2023Tokyo, JapanDuring my tenure, I have had the privilege of leading various teams focused on internal improvement projects, B2B and B2C support, and overseeing the company's operational goals. Starting as the Head Project Manager in a startup company focused on ticketing and streaming, I have been promoted through roles to my current position. One of my main responsibilities is to identify and set operational team goals while defining and monitoring KPIs. This ensures that all projects are completed within budget and on time. I work collaboratively with developers to create actionable development roadmaps and engage and communicate with stakeholders throughout new product releases. Throughout this time, I have accomplished several notable achievements, including reducing headcount by 50% without compromising operations with back-end system automations. I also spearheaded the implementation of an incident management program that resulted in zero complaints from B2B customers. Additionally, I created data dashboards using SQL, Elastic Search, Google Analytics and Amplitude to support sales, marketing, and operational insights. Furthermore, I built and led the scalability of new teams, including project managers, operators, and streaming operations. I also led the implementation of an in-house streaming solution based on AWS infrastructure, which proved beneficial due to the effects of COVID-19. My efforts led to shifting 90% of accounts from third-party streaming solutions to our internal streaming product in 2020. Overall, these accomplishments have contributed to a cumulative GMV of $120M USD since 2020, serving over 1.5M end-users across 20K events. In addition, I defined a data scheme and implemented a data search engine tool (ElasticSearch, Redshift), producing data dashboards. Finally, I defined B2C support KPIs resulting in a reduced First Response Time by 70% and a reduced Resolution Time by 50%.

Apr. 2018 - Sep. 2019Within 23 wards, Tokyo, JapanWith GNC Japan, I spearheaded the successful launch of a leading health supplement brand in the niche and burgeoning Japanese health & wellness industry. My role involved ensuring that all products complied 100% with Japanese regulations for individual cross-border imports, defining a list of products and pricing for market entry, and establishing SOPs and KPIs for eCommerce operations based on cross-border operations. To complete logistic-related tasks for importing products from the USA to an Okinawa military base, I worked closely with the operations team. This helped us to ensure that the products were delivered on time, and in good condition. One of my key achievements during this time was launching products on Amazon Japan in May 2019, which produced ¥1M in sales within the first 3 months of using organic marketing. Additionally, we opened the GNC Kadena store in May 2019, which reached ¥12M in sales within the first 4 months. To further expand our reach, I also produced the GNC Japan domain in July 2019, achieving ¥2M in sales within the first 3 months of using social media marketing. My experience here has enabled me to develop a deep understanding of the Japanese market, and how to effectively launch and market a world-leading health supplement brand in this sector.
