My CV ​(English)

プロフィール

(日本​語)

I spent the last 40 years in the finance industry, having lived in Tokyo, ​New York, London, Paris, and Singapore. I led various institutional ​business across equities, bonds, and derivatives.


Recently, I’ve created US Asian Hours, a U.S.-listed equities trade-​matching platform operating during Asian hours within a leading global ​brokerage in Singapore. This was the first platform of its kind in Asia.


My motto is simple: “Problems are there to be solved.” At Argos at ​Dakota, we are dedicated to helping you address challenges and finding ​solutions together.

過去40年にわたり、東京、ニューヨーク、ロンドン、パリ、シンガポールにて株式、債券、デリバティブの法人向けビジネスに携わってまいりました。


近年ではアジアの営業時間帯に米国上場株式の売買注文のマッチングプラットフォーム、US Asian Hoursをアジアを代表する在シンガポール証券会社にて立ち上げました。このプラットフォームには日本を含め多数の大手証券会社に参画していただいております。


クロスボーダービジネスの豊富な経験とトレードマッチングプラットフォームの知見を踏まえ、お客さまのグローバルビジネス展開をお手伝いさせていただきます。


問題は解決されるためにある!これが私のモットーです。

... and your trusted right-hand partner to expand in SE Asia

Seventeen years ago, when I first visited Singapore, it felt like a paradise—a ​place offering a comfortable environment for both business and living. Since ​then, the country has continued its relentless evolution, becoming a unique ​global hub where people, goods, and capital converge.


In my twenties and thirties, I worked as a financial analyst in Tokyo and Paris, ​specializing in corporate analysis and forecasting. From my forties onwards, I ​transitioned into a role as a business interpreter in English, French and ​Japanese, gaining extensive experience across numerous projects.


Now, it would be my honor to support your business as a trusted partner here ​in Singapore.

17年前、初めて訪れたシンガポールで快適なビジネス環境と暮らしを経験しました。その後もこの国の進化は止まることを知らず、ヒト、モノ、カネが集まるハブとして稀有の繁栄を謳歌しています。


わたしは20代から30代にかけて、証券アナリストとしてパリと東京で企業分析と予想を専門にしてきました。40代以降は英語、フランス語のビジネス通訳という立場で多くの案件に携わってまいりました。


この地で、あなたのビジネスの右腕、伴走者としてお役にたてれば光栄です。
