Satomi helps mission-driven professionals translate experience into market-valued opportunity.

A Japanese HR professional with 16+ years across the private sectors and the UN system, Satomi specialises in career transition and outplacement work. She supports professionals to reposition their experience with clarity and credibility through career strategy, personal branding, interview preparation, and salary negotiation. Having worked with professionals from 100+ nationalities across 50+ countries, Satomi brings sharp insight into the invisible barriers many Global South professionals face in global hiring systems. She coaches with empathy with practical insights and solutions that bring what candidates have done with how the market actually decides.

A late-diagnosed neurodivergent professional herself, Satomi also supports neurodivergent professionals (ADHD, dyslexia, autism) to clear internal roadblocks, recognise strengths others often miss, and apply practical tools that work in the real world.

Her work turns complex careers into clear, credible narratives that hiring managers trust.
