Hello, I’m Mike.

Bilingual Digital Commerce & eProcurement Leader (Director-level, Japan Lead)
Liaison bridging Japan and Global HQ | Bilingual (Japanese–English) | Business-side Digital Transformation Leader


Recent Focus & Impact

Most recently, as Digital Commerce Solutions Manager (Director-level, Japan Lead) at Waters Corporation Japan, I led dealer-integrated eProcurement (EDI/cXML) and a Japan-specific B2B2C eCommerce initiative, aligning global frameworks with Japan’s distributor-driven business practices.
I served as the sole Japan-side liaison bridging U.S. HQ with local Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Logistics—dramatically increasing distributor-driven digital orders and streamlining end-to-end workflows.

Note: SAP Ariba/ERP were backend systems within the global eProcurement framework; my role was the business-side lead (no hands-on SAP operation).

What I Do

  • Digital Commerce & eProcurement leadership (EDI/cXML, dealer integration)
  • Japan–Global liaison for strategy, governance, and delivery (Remote/Hybrid)
  • Global Project & Program Management for cross-border digital transformation

Since 2014, I’ve held contract-based senior leadership roles at multinational companies (Life Sciences & B2B), including Abbott, Sartorius, UBS, and Global Sky etc.

Earlier Career (Foundation)

Founder & CEO of Webmake Ltd. (2003–2013), delivering 300+ web, SEO, and eCommerce projects across manufacturing, healthcare, government, and retail.
This entrepreneurial decade built the execution muscle and growth mindset I apply to enterprise-scale transformation today.
