Haruna Katayama

Born in Japan and shaped across seven countries, Haruna brings a cross-cultural perspective and a drive to explore where underexplored needs meet technology. This curiosity has guided her work across disciplines — most recently at Boston Consulting Group, where she supported cross-border strategy in healthcare.

Before BCG, Haruna worked as an independent analyst at the intersection of women’s health, wellbeing, and technology, while completing graduate research in sexual neuroscience.

Haruna holds a BSc. from Minerva University and an MSc in Neuroscience from King’s College London. She is also a first-gen fellow at MasaSon Foundation and Yanai Tadashi Foundation, led by the Softbank and UNIQLO founders, respectively.
