Hi, I'm Chiyoko

What matters to me

Throughout my life, I have navigated many major transitions: relocating internationally, going through corporate mergers and acquisitions, experiencing sudden job loss, the unexpected passing of a boss, shifting career directions, and making personal new beginnings.

In each chapter, I found strength through reflection, intuition, and continuous professional learning. I believe that clarity comes not from certainty, but from reconnecting with what truly matters.

For high-achieving professionals, moments of pause can feel unsettling. When you have always moved forward with drive and purpose, the question “What now?” can be a difficult one to face.

This is why I am deeply committed to supporting professionals at pivotal moments with calm, focused presence and thoughtful guidance. I am especially drawn to people at a crossroads. I trust in their inner resilience and help them recognize and access it for themselves.

It is my mission to support executives, leaders, and change-makers in making wise, strategic decisions without compromising who they truly are.

By blending professional strategy, empathy, and insightful Japanese philosophy, I help them move forward with confidence and integrity.

Professional Background

The expertise and life experiences that have shaped my perspective and approach

I work as an Executive and Leadership Coach, as well as a Business Life Mentor, drawing on a rich background in global supply chain business, IT consulting and training, and leadership development. For over 20 years, I have managed projects of varying scales within international corporate environments. These experiences allow me to coach with both a strategic perspective and a strong sensitivity to cultural diversity.

I am currently pursuing an MBA at Bologna Business School, deepening my business acumen and leadership insights later in life — a journey that reflects my commitment to continuous growth and reinvention. I have also completed executive coaching and leadership programs at HEC Paris and the University of Oxford, Saïd Business School.

With this diverse experience, I help clients gain clarity, resilience, and grounded strategic thinking in their professional growth.
