Founder Message
“Bridging Connect was created to make global business more human, simple, and genuinely connected.
As a British product and UX professional fluent in Japanese, with experience across Japan, Korea, and China, I’ve seen how much potential is lost when language and culture stand in the way of collaboration.
Our mission is simple: to empower individuals and organizations to connect, grow, and thrive beyond borders—regardless of professional culture or language barriers. We aim to bridge the professional gap between the West and the East.”
