During the middle of COVID-19 crisis, I realized that most people will have troubles to travel to Japan anytime soon.

So, I created a box of Japanese snacks and candies, that I ship to Europe and especially French-speaking countries.

Although I started it as a side-hustle, it is now making more profit than my full-time job's salary, with more than 500 customers since I started.

Tools I've been using for this project:

Based on data analysis, my role was to choose which products should be sold, in which stores & at what timing. I took care of adidas Originals & Action Sports products for several stores, both in Tokyo and in the Kansai area, for 2 seasons: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2020.

I interned in 3 different teams:

eLife is a Tokyo-based agency, providing marketing strategy and content.

During this 1 year contract, I wrote SNS content for a Japanese brand that was trying to expand their business on the French market.

TableCheck (formely called Vesper) is developing systems to connect restaurants and diners around the world. The company's main services are:

TableSolution: a cutting-edge Restaurant Reservation & CRM System

TableCheck: a mobile app that allows customers to easily book restaurants in Tokyo.

Thanks to its software TableSolution, the company became a major player on the Japanese market for Restaurant Management Solutions.

However, prior to 2018, they had never tried to market their product overseas. My mission, under the supervision of the Marketing manager, was to launch the international marketing (french and english-speaking markets), to increase brand awareness outside of Japan.

I worked for 96 Problems (later renamed Everyst and now GoGoGO Comic) for almost one year and a half, both remotely from France but also in their office in Ebisu, Tokyo.

I first worked on the "Rough Draft" project from January 2016 to December 2016, spending 3 months in the office during summer holidays (June/July/August).

Later, the company changed its focus and I was assigned to work on Everyst, from January 2017 to May 2017, full-time in the office.

For both projects, I learnt a lot about marketing and sales, even attending some presentations to investors.

Eurocasa is a store selling high-end furniture. My main mission was to sell products to Japanese and foreign customers. I was also taking care of their website.

I was the first student from IESEG School of Management to be enrolled in this double degree program with Rikkyo University.

I studied there from September 2017 to August 2018 (2 semesters) and obtained a master's degree in International Business.

On top of various business-related courses (finance, accounting, management, marketing, negotiation etc..), I had to write a master thesis - called Final Research Project - which was an M&A proposal for our Japanese client, SEGA Sammy, written in English. The overall project consisted of roughly 120 pages (4 parts of 30 pages) to be presented to a jury of professors.

I've graduated from IESEG after my final internship at Adidas, getting a Master's degree in Science of Management with a specialization in Marketing.
