Episode 8: Merging Logic & Instinct, Maiko Sakai

In this week’s episode, Nicole Imbriaco interviews Maiko Sakai where we discuss how instinct shows up professionally via consulting and coaching. We also touch on how following intuition led Maiko to move from Japan to the United States and how that journey has evolved since.

Maiko Sakai, the founder of Airtight Concepts, is a business growth strategy consultant a.k.a. secret weapon, confidant, advisor & silent partner to her 7-figure clients who are creative entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs with the desire to build a high-functioning, profit-generating piece of beautiful machine.

She also organizes a NYC-based Meetup group, Growth-Driven Entrepreneurs Worldwide to help entrepreneurs who are starting out.

As a self-proclaimed “Queen of Counterintuitive Strategies,” she provides effective but not-so-conventional strategies to boost sustainable profitability for her clients’ businesses by utilizing both quantitative & qualitative assessments.

Originally from Yokohama, Japan, Maiko considers herself a New Yorker, loves ethnic foods of all kinds, and is a sucker for ultra-contemporary design & exotic houseplants. She earned her MBA from Johnson School of Management, Cornell University.
