From budding female entrepreneurs to established executive superwomen and every badass woman in between, For Empowering Women (FEW Japan) is a Tokyo-based network that supports Japan-based women in their professional and personal goals. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2021, the volunteer-run, not-for-profit association hosts meetings, workshops, social events, an annual career strategy seminar (CSS) and more.
When she’s not busy running her own education services and tutoring business QUEST Tokyo, Kirsten O’Connor stands at the helm of FEW as its current president.
Metropolis spoke with O’Connor to find out more about her experiences and advice on business in Japan.
