What do you do at Mizuho?
Mizuho Corporate Access creates events to help our corporate clients expand their investor base and to allow our institutional investor clients to make more informed investment decisions. Our team works closely with research analysts, capital markets, investment banking, sales & trading to originate and execute non-deal roadshows, conferences, reverse roadshows, investor tours, and field trips. As Head of Corporate Access, Americas and Lead Event Originator, I’m focused on our mission to produce content-driven, valuable events that help our corporate and investor clients achieve their strategic goals. We work to increase the number of productive events, deepen client relationships, elevate the Mizuho brand, and drive business across verticals.  

What surprised you about Mizuho?
Even after ten years at Mizuho - with over 60,000 employees worldwide, I’m still surprised by each individual’s ability to make an impact, to have our entrepreneurial spirits supported, and to feel like I’m a part of a family.  It’s just a great culture!

What’s a particularly proud moment you’ve had here?
When an Investor Relations Officer, CEO, or CFO takes the time to praise our team after an event, I am most proud. Receiving this positive feedback makes us excited for our next event. 

What do you do for fun?
Relax on a beach. Work out.  Do arts and crafts with my three year old boy. Volunteer as President and Founder of Hannah Banana Foundation, a non-profit organization that gives therapeutic gifts to hospitalized adults to inspire optimism and healing.
