Kazumi is an insightful coach for your wellbeing, intercultural resilience and sustainability. She navigates individuals and organizations to thrive in complexity with clarity and purpose.
Kazumi was born and raised in Japan and has also lived in the USA, France and Sweden. Her long-term experience of being an Asian person in Western cultures, both at work and in everyday life, has shaped her ability to connect meaningfully with her own identity and the environment around her. This cross-cultural perspective enables her to associate with clients from diverse backgrounds and outlooks, facilitating transformation across personal, professional and cultural boundaries.
Drawing from her experience in leading international, multi-stakeholder projects, especially in social sustainability, at global companies in Japan and Sweden, Kazumi approaches any tasks with her unique blend of Japanese sensitivity and Scandinavian pragmatism.
Her experience in social sustainability highlighted the importance of seeing the forest while tending to the trees—to hold a holistic view of their situations while working through specific, grounded challenges, while her academic background in applied cultural analysis (anthropology) trained her to make the strange familiar and the familiar strange.
