About

From neuroscience, speech recognition, and now enterprise AI — the path may look scattered, but for me it has always followed the same question: start from how people actually behave, and design the AI around that. Bringing AI into an organization is, in the end, no different. You don't start from the technology; you reverse-engineer from how people and work actually operate. That's the stance I bring to everything I build. Most enterprise AI fails at the same gap: between what models can technically do, and what an organization can actually adopt. I work on closing it from both sides. Head of AI Operations, RightTouch — running company-wide transformation across Sales, CS, and Corporate Planning. The unglamorous core: structuring operational data sources so agents can act safely, building an internal AI agent platforms, and rebuilding proposal, collateral, and forecasting workflows. Goal: org-level AI on a schedule, not "everyone learns prompts on their own." CEO, Openly — voice AI startup; speech recognition into education and healthcare SaaS. Trained in speech AI at Kyoto University (Kawahara Lab), with prior research in deep-learning brain imaging at RIKEN. If you're an executive or founder wrestling with the same gap, let's talk.
