Exclusive Event: A Night with Koji Yamamoto
On September 9, 2026, Tokyo will host a notable gathering of business leaders as Koji Yamamoto, the CEO of Global Partners, engages in a candid discussion with fellow executives. This special occasion, organized by Only Story, is part of the ongoing series of executive networking events known as "経営者Bar" or "Management Bar".
Background of the Event
Since its inception in July 2023, the Management Bar has quickly become a significant platform for decision-makers and CEOs, surpassing 300 events and attracting over 3,000 participants. The initiative aims to foster genuine interactions among leaders from various sectors, enhancing the spirit of collaboration and support in the business landscape.
Koji Yamamoto, affectionately referred to as “ZOS Yamamoto”, will be the guest speaker for this particular occasion. His rise in the corporate world is exemplary, beginning in 1995 when he graduated from Tokyo International University and joined Kōtsū Communications. He rapidly climbed the ranks, becoming a board member at the age of 28 and eventually overseeing an extensive sales organization that generated over ¥1 trillion in total revenue.
In 2014, he founded Global Partners after rebranding his previous venture and has since expanded operations internationally with subsidiaries in Dubai and Cebu. His firm specializes in digital marketing, global business expansion, talent introduction, and operates the online university GPU, contributing to a revitalization of the Japanese economy.
Event Details
The gathering will take place at Bar Amaretto in Ebisu from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, with doors opening at 6:15 PM. The format will be intimate and structured, allowing for personal introductions and ample networking time after a toast. The event is designed for executives holding positions such as Executive Officer or higher, and the companies they represent must have more than 10 employees.
Features and Highlights
