Yuka Johnston
Japanese Liaison Consultant (Associate)
Yuka is Aquatera’s Japanese liaison consultant, specialising in marine renewable development in the Asian market. She contributes to Aquatera’s international growth to maximise Japan’s wave and tidal resource.
Before moving to Orkney and taking up her role at Aquatera, Yuka gained extensive professional experience in Japan. She has worked as secretary to a quasi-governmental organisation, and held office management positions in several high profile companies including in the IT and software development industries. Since moving to Orkney she has gained experience in the fast developing renewable energy industry. This is of particular interest, as lessons learned from successful development of renewables in Scotland, could have implications in Japan, given its need to diversify its future energy generation portfolio.
