Rumiko Yamano

Sales Department Manager

Rumiko Yamano

I made a bold job change from a music college graduate and stage actress to a sales position in the business infrastructure domain of domains and trademarks. At first glance, it seems like a completely different area, but in order to understand the brand and image that the customer values at the core and what it should be, the process of deeply empathizing and supporting it as a personal matter is the appeal and intention of the script and direction. It resonates with the passion when I put it into physical expression as an actress.
With the same passion as when I refined my technique for the expression "play", I now have the knowledge to protect and function the domain and trademark that are the means of expression of the customer's business. From one-off risk countermeasures to medium- to long-term strategic planning, we will help you as a professional with a focus on intervening value.

​I joined the company with almost zero knowledge of trademarks and domains, but since I had experience in sales, I started by studying our company's services. How can we properly manage trademarks and prevent counterfeit damage? In addition, I feel that the more information I collect, such as case studies of incidents surrounding domains, the more uniquely difficult and at the same time the more rewarding my work is in this field. In order to always be able to provide the information that our customers require, we always keep our antennas up and want to be of some help.
