Kaito S.
Japan Market Entry, Business Development & Fractional Japan Office
Japan Market Entry Specialist | Founder @ Locale Partner | Ex-L'Oréal I help global SaaS and AI companies expand into Japan — go-to-market strategy, business development, partnership development, and enterprise sales through to closing. Previously 5 years at L'Oréal, running digital and e-commerce in Japan before moving to the Paris headquarters. I know how a global HQ evaluates a new market, and where the decisions actually stall.
