Takaho Iwasaki

Founder / CEO

After working at one of the biggest Japanese broadcasting companies in Tokyo, Takaho Iwasaki decided to diversify her business skills internationally while getting her MBA at the University of Hawaii. After graduating, she helped to expand her family business from Japan to the US. Through her experience she has found that although there are a lot of barriers in Japan-US business, there are a lot of opportunities to create innovation by connecting these two countries in Hawaii.
