Delighted to recommend Miki for Business & Staff Operations leader, Field Marketing, GTM & Sales optimisation roles. Miki first joined Whispir as Executive Assistant and Business Operations Support across my Regional APAC scope, spanning Sales, Marketing, CS and Partnerships.
Miki came from an extensive event management and sales background (not the typical EA background) and that's precisely why I brought Miki on. Miki acted as an executive business partner, viewing all tasks through a sales and GTM lens, juggled competing priorities, managed demanding senior stakeholders while deeply integrating with the cross-country field teams. Miki’s transferable sales and regional operations experience in a deadline driven industry made her effective from day one.
Chief Revenue Officer, Sonder
I worked with Miki at Soprano Design where she was our regional marketing manager supporting my Asia sales team.
Miki worked closely with the sales team to conduct lead generation campaigns and events. Post campaigns and events, she will follow up closely with each and every member in my sales team to ensure that leads were promptly followed up while they were hot!
This relentless pursuit of leads follow up has led to many of these marketing qualified leads becoming sales opportunities and eventually turning to Gold(Deals won)!

I worked with Miki at Whispir - she was a real “go getter” minded operator who jumped into any opportunities to help drive business.
