Masami was born in Japan but her desire to expand her horizons took her on a global journey.
She became deeply concerned about the inequalities and other challenges that existed in the world.
Since then, she has endeavored to create real WIN-WIN connections across all cultures, people and organizations to realize a different world.
She has been a serial entrepreneur since 2001, starting and running several commercial enterprises all aiming to transform the way businesses are operated today.
And by taking a completely new look at the power of giving, she founded B1G1 (Buy1GIVE1) in 2007.
Masami’s approach to life is very different. She brings a new, almost upside-down strategy to everything she does.
And she also radiates it through her writing and speaking.
She has authored four books including, ‘JOY – The gift of acceptance, trust and love’, ‘GIVING BUSINESS – Creating the maximum impact in the meaning-driven world’ and ‘Better Business, Better Life, Better World’.
Masami’s career has followed her diverse talent and skills having been a teacher, translator, natural food chef (and a farmer!), author and award-winning entrepreneur as well as a mother of two teenage children.
She is a two-time TEDx speaker and frequently invited to international events, podcasts and interviews.
