ABOUT NikuDera
Hi, I'm Nick Taylor
Originally hailing from Chicago, I am a business leader with fluency in both English and Japanese.
For close to 20 years, I've established Japan as my base and acquired extensive expertise in commercial positions, particularly in market research, business intelligence, and the advertising agency sector.
I love bringing people together to solve business problems and make operations more successful.
What's behind the name NikuDera
NikuDera (肉寺) is a play on words related to my first and last name, Nick Taylor (ニック・テイラー).
In Japanese, the word for meat is 肉 (niku) and the word for temple is 寺 (tera), which sounds similar to my name.
NikuDera (肉寺) reflects both my name and business philosophy:
Getting to the MEAT of the issue and treating business with the same RESPECT as a temple.
We delve deep into challenges to find core solutions while respecting our clients.
