SUMMARY:From Cold Caller to CEO: Building New Markets
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs 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. \nThe 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. \nToday\, as CEO of Riedel Japan\, Wolfgang Angyal is well known in the industry\, but few know the back story behind that journey. \nAt 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: \n・From unknown to industry leader\n・Finding the right distribution and marketing strategies\n・Driving product adoption to meet untapped markets \nA rare behind the scenes look at long term brand building\, market creation\, and the decisions that make growth stick.

SUMMARY:Disruption & Discovery of New Markets: The American Express Japan Story
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nOur discussion will cover: \n• Strategies for increasing B2B spend and engagement\n• The future of the super-affluent and global traveler market \nCEO 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.\nYou can find his LinkedIn page here. \n  \nThis meeting is OFF THE RECORD
