I started my career as a corporate pension consultant, then switched to an insurance broking, and built a career at several firms, moving back and forth between these two highly specialized fields. It seems that there are not many people traversing these two fields like me, and it enabled me to have ability to advise all areas of Employee Benefits. And thankfully, I had constantly been receiving inquiries from a wide variety of clients. “If there are so much needs in this area and I can be useful, I want to help them.” As this feeling grew bigger, I decided to start my own business in 2016.

My desire and motivation have not changed to this day. Despite its small size, we are strengthening our organization day by day. The quality of our services is second to none. This feeling is the driving force behind our daily work.

There are many cases in which clients’ needs are crucial to them, but are left unattended and pushed to the corner of the market. We believe it is our role to identify these needs and provide “plus alpha” solutions to them.

We will continue to grow and increase our value. I truly appreciate your trust in our services and look forward to your continued support.
