Background

About Hiroki Shima

As a transformational leader rebuilding systems and human capital in complex, cross-cultural environments, I draw inspiration from Stanford GSB’s ethos — “Change lives. Change organizations. Change the world.” My journey spans Fortune 500 firms, cross-border joint ventures, and humanitarian missions across Japan, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and India. I specialize in post-merger leadership integration, organizational transformation, and building psychologically safe, inclusive systems. Currently pursuing advanced training in Human Capital Management at Columbia University, I’m expanding my capacity in systems-level leadership, evidence-based decision-making, and organizational psychology — building on prior executive education from MIT Sloan and Harvard. Trajectory Highlights • GSB-Inspired UN Leadership Path • Columbia University (M.S. in Human Capital Management) • MIT Sloan Executive Education: Data & Systems Leadership • Harvard Online: Adaptive Leadership, Ethics, and Data Science • Coaching for multilateral, post-crisis, and cross-cultural teams My long-term goal is to serve as Assistant Secretary-General at the United Nations, redesigning global leadership systems for a more inclusive, resilient, and just world. I believe systemic transformation begins with presence — and thrives through connection.
