Bringing And Building A Brand In Japan- From Production To Retailing
2025-04-10 12:30 - 14:00 (Asia/Tokyo) | The Oak Door Steakhouse, 6th Floor Grand Hyatt Tokyo, 6-10-3 Roppongi, Minato, Tokyo, 106-0032, Japan
Many brands have come to Japan and failed because they did not “localize” for the Japanese Market. Two companies that come to the forefront are probably Tesco and Carrefour in the retail sectors. However, there are many other examples of companies that have come, failed, and folded their Japan operations. Clearly, companies must understand their target market. Food, manufacturing, retailing, telemarketing, healthcare, tech and many opportunities exist in Japan but require market knowledge and business prowess in order to be successful.
Ernest Higa is a serial entrepreneur who has built and run businesses from lumber, medical devices, pizza and burgers and has adapted each business successfully for the Japanese Market. Although he is an American of Japanese heritage, his understanding of the Japanese Market has allowed him to “localize” US products and concepts for the Japanese Market in various diverse industries.
In the April meeting, CEO Insights members will welcome Mr. Ernest Higa, CEO of Higa Industries. Mr. Higa will share his insights on building his businesses in Japan. After initial sharing, the meeting will be an open discussion talking about the great decisions an executive can make and where to avoid the pot holes in HR, marketing, and cash flow of a successful business.

Tourism In Japan- Will It Ever Cool Down?
2025-07-10 00:30 - 14:00 | Roppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- Italian Restaurant- La Cucina, 51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-6151
For any CEO in Japan for more than a few years, the dramatic increase in tourists is undeniable. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto are the destinations of people from Europe, China, America, and a myriad of other countries around the world that we never saw visit Japan in the past. In 2024, Japan saw nearly 37 million tourists. In March of 2025, we saw nearly 4M visitors. Will this hot tourist destination ever cool down?
In our July CEO Insights meeting we will welcome co-founder and CEO of Section L Hospitality Group, Mr. Howard Ho. Section L is a hotel management company focused on apartment hotels and serviced apartments, now operating 11 locations around Japan. Mr. Ho is a Taiwan native, educated in the US and now running a growing hospitality business in Japan. In this meeting, we will discuss

Japan’s booming tourism business – Where’s it going?
What are some operational challenges (talent acquisition, customer acquisition, etc) along the way?
With high construction costs and asset prices, how are operators and investors navigating the current investment climate?

Tourism may not seem to affect CI network companies directly, when in fact there are both direct and indirect connections to our customers. There are other affects, not just buying our consumer goods, buying our services, or even driving up the prices of real estate.
About the Speaker:
Howard is co-founder & CEO of Section L Hospitality Group, a Tokyo-based hotel management company. Founded in 2020, Section L operates a portfolio of 11 apartment hotels and serviced residences, primarily targeting inbound travellers.

Navigating Growth and Innovation in a Dynamic Market

Join us for an engaging and candid lunch designed exclusively for CEOs and C-suite leaders. As always, the meeting will be conducted under Chatham House Rules to ensure open sharing of insights and strategies. The session is hosted in English and will provide a confidential space to explore pressing business challenges, strategic priorities, and leadership approaches in today’s fast-evolving environment.
Agenda & Discussion Topics

Balancing Innovation with Operational Excellence

In an era of rapid technological change, how can CEOs invest in innovation—like AI, automation, or new digital services—without compromising the efficiency and reliability of core operations?
We’ll discuss frameworks for safely piloting new ideas and scaling those that deliver value.

Talent Strategy in a Competitive Landscape

With intensifying competition for top-tier talent—especially in digital, sales, and finance roles—how can organizations attract, retain, and develop leadership capacity internally?
Ideas will include agile upskilling, flexible workplace policies, and integrating diverse perspectives into decision-making.

Shaping a Resilient and Responsible Growth Path

As external pressures mount (geopolitical risks, regulatory shifts, supply chain volatility), how do CEOs balance agility with long-term stability?
We’ll explore risk assessment best practices, data-driven decision-making, and crisis preparedness as core elements of sustainable organizational strategy.

Can AI Help The CEO Build A Stronger Business Team?
2025-09-11 12:30 - 14:00 | Roppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- Italian Restaurant- La Cucina, 51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-6151
In CEO Insights, a common topic over the years has been human resources. People are the lifeblood of any business. A few good people, can make the difference between failure and overwhelming success. In 2025, many companies are trying to sell us artificial intelligence (AI). We hear in meetings, at events, and even as we travel how AI is changing businesses. With many big tech companies cutting staff due to AI, you can see examples of the connection between HR and AI. But is AI really there for an executive to streamline the business?
In the September CI network luncheon, we will welcome Mr. Eric Wei. Mr. Wei has been dealing with AI in big tech companies for 16years. This month we will reveal to CEOs how to us make the AI buzz word into a results achieving tool in your business.
・How Amazon raised the bar in hiring by successfully integrating AI into their businesses
・How to grow your business by getting local teams to work globally towards corporate goals
・Effectively Using AI before you hire
Eric Wei- Founder and CEO of Dimes Co., Ltd.
Born and raised in Taiwan, I specialized in systems engineering and supply chain management. My career includes leadership roles at global companies like Amazon, Google, DiDi Mobility Japan, and foodpanda Japan. In 2021, he founded Dimes.

For several years, the members of the CI network have welcomed guest experts on investing, cyber currencies, and taxation. CEOs want to know the in and outs of using their resources wisely, realizing tax benefits, and planning for later years in our careers.

・What you can do to make your money work for you
・Help to define your future financial goals and what you need to do to reach them, such as retirement, kids education a move abroad and more ….

The New Takaichi Administration- Where Is Japan Heading?

Japan is certainly on the list of top destinations for international tourism recently. But the moderate climate both economically and seasonally has more appeal to people around the globe. With the fall of Hong Kong as a global market center, Singapore had been the last one standing. Japan, has the potential, with the governor of Tokyo promoting it, to be a economic and geopolitical center for commerce, culture, and regional leadership.
In the November CEO Insights luncheon, we will be discussing the changes in the political environment, the economic changes, and most importantly the potential cultural changes that may affect our businesses. How will the new Prime Minister affect life in Japan and how will it trickle out around the region. Things like-
・How will Japan fuel its economic growth while preserving it’s culture with foreign born labor?
・Will the Muslim Kurds take over Kawaguchi and create a Caliphate beachhead in North Asia?
・Does Japan have gaijin fatigue that will trigger a stricter environment?
This month, you will get a birds eye view as to where business is going in the land of the rising sun.

Human Resources - Rewarding Your Team- Implementing Incentive Plans The Work
2026-02-19 12:30 - 14:00 | Roppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- Italian Restaurant- La Cucina, 51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-6151
Incentives and Performance: Aligning Pay with Outcomes
Incentive structures vary across industries, reflecting differences in business models, risk profiles, and growth horizons. Some organizations prioritize short-term performance rewards, while others emphasize incentives linked to operational excellence, innovation, or long-term value creation.
For CEOs, incentive design plays a central role in translating strategy into execution. Incentive systems determine what gets prioritized, how trade-offs are managed under pressure, and how decisions are made across the organization. They influence accountability, collaboration, and risk-taking, shaping how performance is pursued in practice.
In the February CEO Insights Luncheon, we will discuss:
• Designing incentive plans that align with enterprise strategy
• Balancing short-term performance with long-term outcomes
• Recognizing how incentive structures influence priorities, decision patterns, and risk appetite

We are pleased to welcome Ken Cogger, Managing Director, Deputy Head of HR, and Global Head of Talent Management at Amova Asset Management, as our guest speaker. Ken has held senior HR leadership roles across Japan and the Asia-Pacific region and works closely with executive teams on performance management and incentive frameworks that support performance, accountability, and long-term enterprise outcomes.

The Never Ending Fight Against Ransomware
2026-03-12 12:30 - 14:00 | Roppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- Italian Restaurant- La Cucina, 51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-6151
Days of sending fax messages and messages via postal services are long gone. The world has gone digital, and the world has gone internet. If you are using email, video calling, a smart phone, or anything else that connects to the internet you are at risk of being compromised. If you are managing a business or managing any organization you are also exposed to that risk. One email, one click on one rogue URL and your team has just been neutralized by one action of one person with one device in your organization. This is the typical discovery bosses make about the risks of not thinking about cyber security. Ransomware is the biggest threat to an operation of our generation.
In the March CEO Insights network meeting we will welcome Mr. Cartan McLaughlin of Nihon Cyber Defense. This company deals every day with cyber security challenges their customers have. In this meeting we will focus specifically on ransomware as it is something every company will eventually experience.
• What does good look like and what does bad look like with an attack?
• To pay or not to pay
• The benefits of negotiating with the attackers
CI members will receive the inside scoop and be ready to deal with a situation before it happens. In addition, you will receive a sample Daily Ransomware Update to review showing that each company has different exposures as well as fundamental things the CEO must be aware of.
More On Our Guest CEO-
Cartan McLaughlin is the founder and CEO of Nihon Cyber Defence (NCD); a Japan based cyber security company. NCD brings US and UK cyber expertise to the Cyber market in Japan/Asia.

From Cold Caller to CEO: Building New Markets
2026-04-09 12:30 - 14:00 | Roppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- Italian Restaurant- La Cucina, 51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-6151
It is not every day that someone starts with a cold call to a famous hometown brand and ends up as a global leader in their executive team.
As a young Austrian with a passion for judo and an eye for opportunity, he reached out to a company founded in 1756 to spark their interest in developing their business in Japan. They had a local partner, but the market was tiny and the numbers were just not there. The brand had heritage, but no momentum.
The company took a chance on him. That decision led to over three decades of sustained growth built on careful judgment, market insight, persistence and the courage to act early.
Today, as CEO of Riedel Japan, Wolfgang Angyal is well known in the industry, but few know the back story behind that journey.
At the April CI meeting, you may be among the few to hear his candid account of how he scaled a heritage brand in Japan and went on to launch it in 26 countries across five continents. We will cover:
・From unknown to industry leader
・Finding the right distribution and marketing strategies
・Driving product adoption to meet untapped markets
A rare behind the scenes look at long term brand building, market creation, and the decisions that make growth stick.

Disruption & Discovery of New Markets: The American Express Japan Story
2026-05-14 12:30 - 14:00 | Roppongi Hills Club- Roppongi Hills Club- Italian Restaurant- La Cucina, 51 fl. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106-6151
Across industries—whether exploring for energy resources, developing hospitality ventures, or launching new financial products—the role of the executive C-suite is fundamentally the same: to grow the business. Some growth opportunities emerge as true blue-ocean innovations, as seen in web search and social media companies. Others are discovered closer to home—by recognizing unmet needs or redefining existing markets that are hiding in plain sight.
This May, we will explore how American Express Japan has successfully navigated this challenge through strategic market discovery and business transformation. American Express has evolved its Japan business from a primarily consumer-focused B2C model into a significantly larger and more sophisticated B2B-driven growth engine. The scale and performance of the Japan operation point to strong leadership and disciplined execution in one of the world’s most competitive financial markets.
Our discussion will cover:
• Strategies for increasing B2B spend and engagement
• The future of the super-affluent and global traveler market
CEO Insights members will welcome Mr. Yasuhiro Sudo, Senior Vice President and Country Manager for American Express Japan. A 35-year veteran of American Express, Mr. Sudo joined the company as a university graduate and has built deep expertise across operations, finance, and customer-facing sales leadership—giving him a rare, end-to-end perspective on the organization and its growth strategy.
