Why Qualtrics
Miyuki, Account Executive, on growing XM in Japan
I started my career as a Pre-Sales SE in an IT company. I’ve had experience as an Alliance manager, and in Marketing, Sales, and Operations. For most of my career, I was involved in ERP. I wanted to learn and jump into the new category.
What attracted you to Qualtrics in the first place?
I have been working on ERP projects for a long time especially in the HR area. It has been changed from HRM to HCM, and then Qualtrics proposed a new world HXM. I wanted to expand this category in Japan.
What was the turning point where you knew you "had to have the job" at Qualtrics?
I knew I would need a few months to hand over my job at the company I was at. During my interview with Bill McMurray, he told me to keep my credibility and he would wait till I finished handing over my job. I was interviewing at a couple of other companies, but he was the only one to say that. I was very impressed and wanted to join Qualtrics.
What has surprised you most about working at Qualtrics?
As our culture "TACOS" promises, my career path is very transparent and clear.
I joined as an account executive and in less than 2 years I am already on my way to manage a team. Qualtrics provides me with a lot of opportunities internally if I am performing, meaning I can grow internally.
How has Qualtrics lived up to your expectations? How has it been different?
I love the "TACOS" at Qualtrics. "TACOS" describes the Qualtrics culture: Transparent, All In, Customer Obsessed, One Team, and Scrappy. All coworkers are in one team, and never say "that's not my job." I am very comfortable working with other Qualtrics team members and would like to say they’ve been "above expectations".
What is your #lifehack?
I am learning trampolines. Jumping on a trampoline in the dark, with loud music, lets me forget any unpleasant things in an instant. My motto is "Work Hard and Play Hard!!"
