New Customer Acquisition Team Leader | Global Client Acquisition Manager
Kuji,14

Summary

Dynamic leader with a proven track record at Rakuten Group LinkShare Japan, excelling in new business development and client acquisition. Recognized as "Rookie of the Year," I leverage exceptional sales skills and strong mentoring abilities to drive team success and exceed targets, fostering growth in both individuals and overall performance.

In my first year as a new graduate, I identified the untapped potential of international markets and proposed, planned, and executed the company’s expansion into overseas clients and global markets. This initiative successfully secured partnerships with renowned global brands, resulting in a fivefold increase in transaction value and establishing the global market as a key pillar of the company’s business. Currently, I oversee all aspects of global market operations as Japan’s Global Market Manager.

Domestically, I continue to demonstrate outstanding sales performance, consistently leading in new business revenue and showcasing unparalleled expertise in client acquisition and relationship building.
