A Successful 18th Salon de CEO Event

On January 26, 2026, DYM Group, known for its diverse operations including HR, web, and international medical services, hosted its 18th Salon de CEO event. This exclusive gathering brought together prominent business leaders to engage in meaningful discussions about entrepreneurship and leadership. The highlight of the evening was the presence of Mr. Yoichi Iwai, CEO of Peak Crowd Holdings, who shared valuable insights from his experience during the early days of the mobile internet revolution.

Engaging Discussions Driven by Real Experiences

The event, held in a cozy setting with limited attendees, allowed participants to benefit from an intimate atmosphere, where meaningful connections were made. Iwai provided a captivating account of his journey with CyberAgent, reflecting on the challenges and triumphs faced during the formative years of mobile internet business development. Attendees expressed appreciation for the honest and practical insights shared by Iwai, noting how it significantly enhanced their understanding of strategic business decision-making.

Many participants remarked on the practical value of Iwai's anecdotes, stating, "It was incredibly real and insightful" and "My clarity on business judgment has improved considerably." This open format led to deep dialogues rather than merely superficial exchanges, making it a truly enriching experience for all involved.

Looking Ahead to Future Events

Excitement is building for the next Salon de CEO event scheduled for February 4, 2026, featuring Mr. Tsubasa Mizuguchi, CEO of fonfun Inc. Attendees can look forward to gaining insights into Mizuguchi's perspectives on M&A strategies and future business growth plans. The event will be held at the Business Lounge YML in Minato, Tokyo, promising another evening of substantial discussions and networking opportunities.

As the Salon de CEO evolves, it continues to create spaces where business leaders can engage candidly, nurturing relationships that foster collaboration and innovation.
