I’m excited to immerse myself in the world of monday.com and support organizations of all sizes across the region to enhance their productivity, collaboration, and decision-making capabilities through the platform.”

Concurrently, Eric Kim steps in with a significant background spanning roles at distinguished firms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Pegasystems, and Telstra. His role as the Business Operations Team Lead entails collaborating closely with the regional leadership ensemble, thus crafting a market strategy that resonates with augmented operational efficiency and effectiveness. With over a decade of proficiency in business development and technology sales, Eric is enthusiastic to be a catalyst in furthering monday.com's global mission.

He articulated his vision, stating, “monday.com is materially improving how businesses around the world not only operate but collaborate.
