Miyuki Suzuki exemplifies the fusion of Japanese heritage and global leadership. An Oxford graduate, she held executive roles at Reuters, Japan Telecom (now Softbank), LexisNexis, KVH (now Colt) and Jetstar Japan before leading Cisco’s Asia Pacific,Japan and China operations—overseeing one of the most complex, high-growth regions in global tech. Today, she serves on the boards of Twilio, JERA, SanDisk, shaping governance across energy, finance, and Silicon Valley innovation.

In this session, Miyuki will share how board directors must adapt to cultural norms and strategic context. She’ll explore how approaches to M&A, HR, and climate strategy vary by industry, regulatory environment, and company-specific risk tolerance. Topics will include CEO-board dynamics, stakeholder engagement, and decision velocity.

If you operate across borders and sectors—this is your masterclass in adaptive governance.
