Background

About Kota Umeda

An energetic, efficient, and customer-oriented team & solo player with over three years of experience in event coordination and AV technical support in a global environment. Equipped with strong interpersonal skills, excellent computer literacy, and proven multitasking ability. I have over three years of experience supporting in-office, virtual, and hybrid events at Indeed, where I strengthened my ability to deliver smooth technical operations and meaningful event experiences. My background blends audio-visual expertise with hands-on event production, allowing me to create reliable and engaging environments for diverse audiences. I was honored to be nominated twice for the “Pillar of Japan” award, reflecting my commitment to teamwork and service quality. I enjoy working across cultures and stakeholders, solving challenges, and building events that bring people together. I also have an experience as a freelance livestreaming technician + photographer/videographer/sound operator. I feel comfortable working in a multicultural environment, including when I had the opportunity to work for the Olympic Broadcasting Services as a commentary systems operator during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. I have not only worked in the audio/visual media industry, but I was working as an English-Japanese bilingual medical staff as well at an international clinic in Tokyo. It endorses my efficiency, customer-orientation & hospitality, and interpersonal skills, as I was praised for the smooth and personalised service. Specialising in English linguistics, I focused and wrote a dissertation on gender-neutral shift in the English language at the university. I also learned tourism marketing, event management, visual media, and intercultural communication. I feel pleasure in problem solving, assisting people and achieving their requests both in customer service and creative works even when that is not easy. I am also good at developing and realising an existing idea. I try to pursue gender equality both in work and private life at all times.
