Meet Takako Tominaga – ENZ’s new Senior Market Manager for Japan
Takako (Taki) Tominaga recently joined Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) as Senior Market Manager for Japan, bringing a wealth of experience in international education and student services across the world.
Based in Tokyo, Taki’s role focuses on strengthening New Zealand’s education brand in Japan and increasing student interest in studying in Aotearoa. Her career spans over a decade, including roles with the Victoria State Government, Airbnb during the Tokyo Olympics, and several education institutions in Melbourne.
Taki’s connection to New Zealand runs deep – her first overseas experience was studying in Hamilton and Rotorua. That formative time in New Zealand sparked a lifelong passion for international education.
“The wonderful experiences I had in New Zealand were the starting point of my journey. I’m excited to help others discover the beauty and strengths of studying there,” she said.
Taki has hit the ground running in her role and has already supported a visiting delegation from English New Zealand and represented ENZ at a variety of events.
