-- Satoko Shimooka, Founder and CEO of SIJIHIVE Inc., was conferred with the Business Leadership Excellence Award at the CXO 2.0 Conference. The international leadership event took place from December 8–10, 2025, at the InterContinental DFC in Dubai, bringing together senior executives, founders, and industry leaders to explore leadership, innovation, and cross-cultural business alignment.
Satoko Shimooka is a marketing communications specialist based in Japan, whose work explores the space between language, culture, and business. She is driven by a belief that while words may not change everything, they can shift perspectives—and that shift often becomes the starting point for meaningful action.
Through what she does, Satoko helps individuals and organizations explore new ways of telling their brand stories when entering unfamiliar markets. She often describes this process as “cultural shapeshifting”: the ability to view products, services, and messages through a different cultural lens and adapt them in ways that feel authentic and relevant to local audiences.
On receiving the award at the CXO 2.0 Conference, Satoko shared, “I’m deeply honored to receive this award. More than a recognition of what has come before, it gave me a rare opportunity to pause, reflect, and articulate what I’m building toward. It reaffirmed the potential of this ongoing journey and opened new perspectives on where it may lead next.
I look forward to continuing meaningful exchanges with those interested in the Asian market, as well as fellow entrepreneurs seeking inspiration.”
This honor highlights her contribution to business leadership through intercultural understanding, demonstrating how informed communication practices support organizational alignment and strategic growth in an increasingly interconnected world.
