Quiet Strength, Big Impact - How Naoko Senoo Became Top 1 Japanese in Just 7 Months

Quiet Strength, Big Impact - How Naoko Senoo Became Top 1 Japanese in Just 7 Months

When Naoko Senoo (Nao-san) joined Reeracoen Vietnam in early 2025, she didn’t expect to win accolades. Her goal was simple: serve her clients sincerely, learn quickly, and support her team.

Just seven months later, she’s earned the title of Top 1 of Japanese — a remarkable achievement, especially for someone working across cultures, languages, and borders.

🤝 A Foundation of Trust

“The language and cultural barriers were certainly challenging,” Naoko shares.

“But by placing sincerity first and building trust, we were able to achieve results.”

She never set out to outperform others. Her focus was always on showing up, staying open, and letting consistency speak for itself.

🌱 Success Is a Team Result

For Nao-san, success is never individual.

“I don’t really feel like it’s ‘my’ award,” she says with a smile.

“To me, it symbolises the mutual trust within our team.”

Whether she’s learning new phrases in English, adapting to Japanese manufacturing clients, or supporting colleagues across departments — her approach is always collaborative and humble.
“Even if you don’t see results immediately, don’t give up. Just keep taking small steps — they will eventually lead to big change.”

💬 People First, Always

Some of her most meaningful moments come not from metrics — but from human connection.

“The most rewarding part is when jobseekers tell me they’re happy after joining the company. That’s when I feel I’ve truly contributed something valuable.”

That emotional resonance, she believes, is what makes her role so fulfilling.

📈 What’s Next?

With FY15 underway, Naoko’s focus is on empowering others:

• Supporting the growth of her team

• Mentoring junior colleagues

• Building shared success through collaboration

“I hope to keep growing together with the team — not just achieving results myself, but lifting others up too.”

Her leadership is quiet, thoughtful, and deeply impactful — the kind that transforms teams over time.

📚 A Glimpse into Her World

Outside of work, Nao-san finds joy in novels and literature.

“I believe that what may seem pointless at first glance is actually what enriches our lives the most.”

It’s a belief that mirrors her own career journey — not fast or flashy, but full of meaning.
