Raised across the United States, Japan, and Germany, Nana joined the founding team of WELgee after working on local industry revitalization in rural Hokkaido. At WELgee, she launched career development and job placement programs for refugees living in Japan, connecting them with companies as global talent and pioneering a model for stabilizing legal status through employment.
