With Maison Ugoki, I support leaders and teams operating in international contexts, where bridging "cultures" becomes an essential lever for sustainable performance and cohesion.
Sustainable performance and cohesion cannot be decreed: they are built through the rightness of relationships, the understanding of differences and the ability to foster dialogue between different perspectives.
My role is to create the conditions for profound progress — the kind that transforms attitudes, strengthens maturity and opens up new possibilities.
FOUR PILLARS THAT SHAPE
MY SIGNATURE
Global stage as a learning ground
My path has been built between France, Europe and Asia, at the heart of multicultural environments where the diversity of codes is both an asset and a challenge.
I learned to read the nuances, to understand the invisible dynamics, to support leaders facing global responsibilities.
This experience has given me an essential skill: creating spaces where cultures can interact, complement each other and enrich one another.
The horse as a master of precision
The horse taught me what few professional environments teach:
Presence, consistency, the right posture.
He reveals without judging, adjusts without being abrupt, responds to intention more than to discourse.
The intelligence of life permeates my way of accompanying: subtle, sensitive, grounded, profoundly human.
Design and visual arts as a language of clarity
Design instilled in me a taste for simplicity, structure, and visual coherence.
It taught me how to give form to the invisible, to make the complex legible, to create experiences that combine meaning and aesthetics.
In my coaching, this sensitivity translates into thoughtful and structured approaches, and a particular attention to the quality of the experience and to details.
Japan as a model of operational excellence
Japan entered my life in my childhood, first through pop culture, then as a discreet but constant thread that structured my way of working.
More than fifteen years of cooperation with Japanese organizations have transformed this initial fascination into a genuine professional anchor.
Japan has become a key to understanding my journey: a culture where quality is a commitment , where precision is an art, where the collective takes precedence over the individual, and where continuous movement guides excellence .
A vision of work that forms a framework of high standards, structuring my way of listening, questioning, challenging, and supporting. And which fosters a professional stance characterized by rigor, attentiveness, and mastery.
MAISON UGOKI, CRAFTING TRANSFORMATION
UGOKI, meaning " movement " in Japanese, embodies the essence of transformation.
Born at the crossroads of seemingly disparate universes, in a world where borders disappear and cultures intersect, UGOKI carries the vision of global, demanding and humane leadership.
Leadership based on a balance between operational efficiency, relational quality and personal ecology, capable of fostering dialogue between differences.
A leadership that moves forward with precision, creativity, responsibility and openness.
UGOKI is intended as a vibrant call to action, continuous improvement, excellence and positive evolution.
With UGOKI, I invite everyone to adopt a proactive and committed approach to their development, to explore uncertainty with rigor, perseverance and optimism in order to become the architect of their own metamorphosis.
It is a journey where every step opens new perspectives — a movement that broadens horizons and creates a positive impact.
Together, we are creating new possibilities.
Together, we are UGOKI.
A JOURNEY GUIDED BY PASSION
My professional path has been shaped by interactions with cultures, industries, and practices, each of which has left its mark. These successive experiences have formed my approach to support and given rise to the vision that drives Ugoki.
2000-2005
The foundations
Having graduated from high school in 2000, entrepreneurship and a passion for exploring the world guide my choices. I dream of designing ttravel programs and opening my own travel agency. My initial education in Tourism, followed by studies in Business Management, have exposed me to the diversity of cultures, environments, and human dynamics.
Then I discovered HR, which I became passionate about, and decide to specialize. I enrolled in the Master's program in HR Management at Université Dauphine PSL. These years laid the foundations: understanding organizations, structuring my thinking, developing a global vision, and learning to navigate in diverse contexts.
2004-2011
The beginnings
I had the opportunity to join Morgan, a French fashion brand. My first years in HR were spent at the heart of retail and a creative industry. There, I learned the fundamentals: recruiting, training, coaching, and performance management. This experience was further developed a few years later when I joined the Spanish group Inditex, expanding my HR skillset in my first generalist role. Working on the ground instilled in me a sense of pace, operational efficiency, and teamwork—while the fashion world instilled in me boldness, an eye for aesthetics, and the ability to thrive in demanding and fast-paced environments.
2011-2023
Acceleration
I joined the Japanese group FAST RETAILING to develop the UNIQLO brand, which had arrived in France the previous year.
This was followed by more than a decade marked by the structuring of global HR projects which led me to work across Europe, Asia and the US, in contact with multicultural teams.
This experience was a true laboratory of construction and endurance. I experienced firsthand what it means to build for the long term: structuring without losing momentum, making quick decisions without compromising standards, and moving forward in the face of uncertainty while staying the course. Fast Retailing's entrepreneurial spirit taught me to combine a global vision with attention to detail, to foster strong teams in dynamic environments, and to transform constraints into driving forces.
From 2020 onwards, I strengthened my approach, refined my listening skills, and enriched my tools by training in Professional Coaching, Co-development, and Design Thinking. Horses, who have been a part of my life since childhood, entered my professional life. I made them my partners by specializing in Equine-Facilitated Coaching. My conviction that healthy and lasting transformation comes through experience, relationship, and the wisdom of living beings became stronger.
2024- ...
Reinventing myself
2024 marks my 20‑year corporate career. A pivotal year — one of reinvention as much as culmination. I chose to reconnect with my entrepreneurial ambition.
I founded Maison Ugoki, a space where everything that has shaped me — the international, Japan, the living world, and creativity — comes together in a coherent and fully assumed form.
A place where I transform these influences into bespoke transformation experiences, serving a global, demanding, and deeply human form of leadership.
Ugoki has become the ground where I can create, transmit, and support with the freedom, precision, and ambition that truly reflect who I am.
VALUES INSPIRED BY A PHILOSOPHY OF HIGH STANDARDS AND HARMONY
Rei 「礼」
Respect
Rei is one of the central principles of Bushidō, but it goes far beyond the martial framework.
It expresses a form of respect that is neither hierarchical nor protocol-based: it is an active respect, which manifests itself through attention, restraint, consideration and recognition of the other.
