I’m Tomoko King, an Operational Excellence Strategist.
Born in Canada, raised in Japan, I’ve lived and worked across cultures my entire life. That experience shapes how I see people, leadership, and collaboration.
I blend Japan-informed operational discipline with Western business agility to help organizations create clarity, flow, and sustainable performance in daily operations and in Japan-Canada collaboration. This frees leaders to spend less time firefighting and more time driving strategic priorities.
I help leaders and teams simplify complexity, improve alignment, and achieve operational excellence through Japan-inspired ways of working and Japan–Canada advisory.
