Making Life-Changing Decisions How Maxon enabled me to make my dream come true and move to Japan.

Two years ago, I stumbled upon Maxon’s products and was immediately drawn to their capabilities, particularly Cinema 4D, and I wanted to work at Maxon. Fast forward two years and here I am working for Maxon Computer KK in Japan as a senior sales account manager for the Asia-Pacific region. It's a double dream come true, really, because my husband and I have had long-standing plans to relocate to Japan.

Creativity has always been my passion, and with a background in sales and marketing, I am able to work directly with the creative team at Maxon, which is a bonus. Before joining Maxon, I worked for HP where I gained significant experience in a variety of business and channel management roles across Asia Pacific and Japan. 

The decision to move to Japan was daunting initially. I wrestled with the idea of leaving my family in Singapore but was excited about the fresh start in Japan. I'm grateful to Maxon for having patience as I deliberated over this life-changing decision.

Now, I’m thrilled to be in Tokyo surrounded by an incredible team at Maxon KK. The supportive culture, fostered by exceptional leadership, is truly inspiring and every moment in Japan is precious to me. I’m learning about my colleagues, Japanese culture and language, and I’m discovering beautiful flowers amidst the weeds — there’s more than just Sakura (cherry blossoms).

Japan truly is a remarkable place! Plus, it has the best instant cup noodles in the world! Trust me: I am now an instant noodle convert. 

I have achieved so much during these past three months, including settling down in an apartment in Japan, attending Maxon’s annual company summit in May, and I’ve already made so many new friends at Maxon. I’m also proud that we have fantastic products and I’ve met artists from Australia, China, and Japan who have said things like “Cinema 4D has changed my life!” I believe I’m in the right place and so are you.
