Bio

As a core member of FRG leadership, Naoko assists clients on mitigating corporate misconduct, namely prevention, detection, incident response and enhancement of compliance programs. In the near future, the team is envisioning ESG/sustainability fraud to come into play, where she will assist clients on bringing corporate governance, risk management and compliance to the next level.

Prior to joining KPMG, Naoko was a Director in PwC's Forensic Services group. She focused her practice in transnational regulatory matters such as the FCPA, anti-corruption regimes of MDBs (e.g. World Bank), antitrust/competition law, and other white collar crime-related investigations.

Naoko joined PwC from Hitachi Ltd.’s Legal Department, where she handled complex foreign regulatory matters in multiple jurisdictions, international litigation, and contract negotiations associated with cross-border strategic alliance projects as in-house counsel. During her tenure, she obtained an LL.M. degree from Stanford Law School and worked at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Chicago, where she handled IP litigation.

Naoko also serves on panels at international conferences and lectures at seminars related to her expertise – on themes such as anti-corruption, corporate governance and ESG.
