I work at Page One PR as Head of the Japan Incubator. I am a veteran marketing executive, industry analyst, and systems integrator with special expertise in security, Asia IT markets, and open source software. Prior to Page One PR, I led marketing at two venture-funded security start-ups as well as with a graphics software company spun out of SGI. I also served as acting president of an international Linux company based in Tokyo. Earlier in my career I was a Tokyo-based technology analyst covering open source software, security, and the Japanese technology market. I was co-founder of Kachina Technology, a systems integration company in the United States that specialized in creating e-commerce Web sites built on open source software. I holds a BA in East Asian Studies and Japanese from Connecticut College and an MA in East Asian Studies from Stanford University. I’m fluent in Japanese. I play ice hockey and like to sail.
