I help brands and manufacturers grow across Japan, Europe and APAC — through distribution, market entry and partnerships.
Bilingual business developer opening and growing markets across Japan and Europe — in life sciences, medical devices, pharma and cosmetics.
Eight-plus years in international business development, including roughly five years on the ground in Japan (Tokyo and Fukuoka). I specialise in distribution, channel development and new market entry: selecting, adapting and launching products for new markets, managing and re-activating distributor networks, and structuring the partnerships that make growth stick.
I work comfortably across cultures and functions — merchandising, marketing and logistics — and steer with KPI analysis (Excel, PowerPoint, BI). Native French, fluent English, business-level Japanese.
From medical devices and pharma to cosmetics — the common thread is opening markets and making distribution work.

Developed and distributed cosmetics and aesthetic brand lines — including stem-cell skincare — for Japan’s beauty and clinic market (INFIX); partnered with leading French cosmetics houses (Intertek).
Re-activated dormant distributor networks, opened new markets (US, Canada, UAE), and drove product launches, channel growth and strategic partnerships.
Distribution, market entry and partnerships — across life sciences, medical devices and cosmetics.
