C-Level Summer Networking Event @ Miele in Aoyama

With the start of the Summer, we’re celebrating an evening @ CEO Insights. CEO Insights Members and other guest c-levels are gathering for an evening of food, drink, and networking at CI member company Miele. Miele is a famous whitegoods and electronics manufacturer based in Gütersloh, Germany. Miele offers their appliances about 100 countries around the world. Miele makes appliances including laundry appliances; vacuum cleaners; dishwashers; cooking appliances; and much more. It was recognized in 2015 being the best corporate brand in Germany that year. In 2018, Miele participated in the highly reputable ‘Great Place To Work’ benchmark project, and won first place.

The evening will begin with a welcome from CI chair Spencer Wolfe. CEOs are always wanting to learn about each other’s experiences. Miele Japan, Managing Director, Hideki Matsubara will introduce the Miele brand and its business. The rest of the evening will give CI members and their guests a chance to catch up at the start of the Summer. We are also planning for a special surprise guest. More to come on that.

2018 Sayonara Summer – BBQ @ Azabu Gardens (SSBBQ)

Life is not just about knowing people, it’s about knowing good people. There’s no beating the quality of CEO Insights members and our guests around a table. As an executive, it can be lonely at the top and CI fills that void. As we close out and say “sayonara” to summer 2018, we want to give an extra opportunity for our CI groups to get to know each other. The evening of September 25th, we will break away from our regular luncheons and OTRs and have arranged a special event.

This evening of strictly food and networking gives members a chance to catch up with fellow CEOs after a relaxing summer break.

For the evening, real estate developer Pembroke welcomes us back for special outdoor barbecue reception at their luxurious Azabu Gardens property’s Rooftop

Terrace. The catering is by Soul Food House in Azabu. Please sign up early as space is limited to the first 25 CEOs to sign up.
