This week’s guest is Romka Walkowiak, the Sales Director for South-East Asia at HubSpot, the easy-to-use CRM to scale your business.
Romka has been in the sales industry for almost 15 years, with 10 of those spent in leadership positions. She started her career in a BPO organisation before she moved to the vendor side, joining Red Hat. She then moved on to LinkedIn, before joining HubSpot to lead their South East Asia region.
Romka is a citizen of the world. Born and raised in Poland, she spent 6 years in Ireland where she met her French husband. Together they moved to Singapore where they have been for the past 12 years. She loves travelling and has visited roughly 30 countries, but as a mom to a 12-month-old baby girl, travelling is on pause for now.
In this episode, Daryn and Romka chat about her podcast, "Asia Growth Forecasts," which focuses on launching and developing businesses in Asia. They also discuss leadership and hiring strategies, talent shortages in the APAC region and the potential for companies to tap into emerging economies, considerations for companies expanding into APAC markets, and the future of CRM and AI.
It’s Romka Walkowiak!
