What we do
Studio Taira has two practices. Each one matches a business activity the company is registered for in Singapore.
Consulting is for owners and management teams. It covers advice on strategy and operations, one-to-one business coaching, and independent advice on the technology a business runs on.
Athlete management covers one athlete: Leon Aurelius Taira, a professional padel player and the founder of the studio. We manage his sponsorships, partnerships and appearances.
We work across Singapore, the Philippines and Japan, in English and Japanese.
Studio Taira Pte. Ltd. is registered with ACRA for management consultancy services (SSIC 70201) and as an agent for athletes (SSIC 74905).
Consulting
-
Management consulting
Market entry into Japan and Southeast Asia, operating models, strategy reviews and board papers. For Japanese companies expanding abroad, this can include introductions to distribution partners and marketing built around sport.
-
Business coaching
Regular one-to-one sessions with owners and managers on the questions in front of them: priorities, people, cash and the next decision. Coaching is advice. You keep the decisions and the running of the business.
-
IT consulting
Independent advice on the systems a business depends on. We help you choose point-of-sale, accounting and operations software, plan the rollout, and coach your team to use it well. We do not resell software or provide managed IT or cybersecurity services.
Athlete management

Talent management: Leon Aurelius Taira
The studio is Leon’s management agency. We negotiate his sponsorship and partnership agreements, license his name and image to partner brands, and manage his tournament schedule, travel and appearances. Brands that want to work with Leon contract with Studio Taira. We represent Leon only.
How we work
A typical consulting engagement runs twelve weeks in three phases. Each phase closes on something agreed, so the decision at the end is not a surprise.
Business coaching runs as a series of sessions agreed up front. Sponsorships and appearances with Leon are set out in a written agreement with the studio.
We lead the analysis. You hold the decision.
Every proposal sets out the scope, the timeline, the fee and who owns each decision.

About the studio
Studio Taira was founded by Leon Aurelius Taira, a professional padel player who competes on the Asia Pacific Padel Tour. The two practices share one network. The brands that meet Leon through sport are often the same companies that need advice on growing abroad.
Taira is written 平. The character means level, even, calm: ground that holds. It is also the family name behind the studio.
The seal takes the strokes of 平 and closes them inside a ring, the way a Japanese seal closes a document. It is a signature rather than a logo: the mark of the person who stands behind the work.
Three principles decide how the studio works, writes and behaves.
-
Level
We say what will happen, by when, and who owns it. No drama on the way there.
-
Precise
Numbers, names and dates. If a figure is an estimate, we say so and give the range.
-
Between cultures
Written for a reader in Tokyo, Manila or Singapore without loss in translation. Japanese formality, English clarity.
