MAIKA SOMEDAFOUNDER & CEO
FOUNDER-LED. PERSONALLY INVOLVED.
Meet Maika.
Your creative partner.
SOMA Connect began with the belief that connections make new challenges possible. Through digital, events, music and community, we bring the value of businesses and people to those they have yet to meet.
My career in recruitment at Michael Page Japan has taught me to understand businesses, people and what makes a strong match. As a founder, community builder and DJ, I bring that business perspective into creative projects, with direct involvement and support in Japanese and English.
