Robin is from Sydney, Australia. Prior to coming to Japan he was a client service account manager for DDB, one of the world’s leading advertising agencies. Since an early age, he has committed himself to a path of continual self development.
One aspect of this path has been Robin's study of the martial arts. In 1996, he moved to Japan to study directly with the top masters of a martial art that was to him, the ultimate expression of the traditional warrior ways. Together with a spirited appreciation of Eastern philosophy, he has endeavored to live the principles of his studies in both his personal and professional life.
In 2003, after working at one of Japan’s largest executive search firms, Robin co-founded Zensho. His mission has been to provide clients in the legal industry with a bespoke service that embodied the core of his beliefs. The impact of this approach can be seen in the close relationships he maintains with legal professionals throughout the Asia region.
For Robin, the true excitement of being a recruiter comes not from making a “placement,” but in facilitating connections between people that produce wonderful opportunities for growth. He is convinced that the essential essence of professional success, personal happiness, martial arts and philosophy is one and the same. His motto is to “let life flow.” He also enjoys travel, film, music, Japanese calligraphy, nature, and time with his family.
Coming from Southern California, Steve has had a long-time interest in the ocean and related activities, especially fishing and scuba diving.
Steve began recruiting in Tokyo in 1999 and co-founded Zensho in 2003 to offer a more personalized and specialized service and long-term commitment.
In recruiting, Steve especially enjoys making a match, knowing the right introduction helps a company succeed and helps a candidate with their career goals. He feels when a match is right, it’s just right.
A California native, Michael moved to Japan in 1991 to pursue his passion of martial arts and Japanese cultural studies. Since coming to Japan, he has studied intensively with the top teachers in his chosen arts. He has obtained rank and teaching degrees in the martial arts as well as in Nihon Buyou (traditional Japanese dance) and bonsai cultivation. His studies have given him an intimate perspective and appreciation for Asian culture and heritage.
Michael has learned that all things worthwhile take time, and that patience and commitment are essential ingredients for building long term relationships in any area of life. This attitude has served him well as a legal specialist recruiter. He strives to provide the highest quality of service in his work and loves providing creative advice and solutions to clients that help them achieve their professional objectives.
Before joining Zensho, Michael was a consultant in the biotech industry and had the pleasure of working with some of the leading pioneers in the field. In addition to his consulting engagements he founded several companies, including a movie production company based in Los Angeles which he is still active in. He truly believes that “the work is the reward.” This is what drives him to perform each and every day. He enjoys surfing, paramotoring, reading, philosophy, and time with his family.
