Background

About Dewi Tanner

If we haven't met, I'm Dewi. I thrive where global high-stakes projects and Japanese business intersect. As a British-born, Japan-based leader with 18 years of experience, I am the strategic bridge connecting Western and Japanese business cultures. My specialty is creative problem-solving, dismantling the complex cultural, logistical, and regulatory hurdles that often stall ambitious projects and programmes. Blue-chip clients like Microsoft, EA, and The Pokémon Company have come to rely on my exemplary decision-making and relentless drive to turn bold visions into reality. My core strengths include: STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP & OVER-DELIVERY: Leading complex global programs from concept to closure, consistently delivering above and beyond expectations. CULTURAL & STAKEHOLDER MASTERY: Acting as the key liaison between diverse global teams, Japanese business units, clients, vendors, and relevant Japanese governmental bodies to ensure seamless collaboration. CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING & RISK MANAGEMENT: Architecting innovative solutions for unique challenges while proactively identifying and mitigating project risks. WHITE-GLOVE CLIENT MANAGEMENT: A customer-first mindset, honed by serving demanding industry titans. POISED COMMUNICATION: Ensuring transparent, timely, and calm communication to all audiences, even in high-stakes scenarios. PROCESS OPTIMIZATION & MENTORSHIP: A commitment to continuous improvement and the compassionate mentoring of emerging talent.
