Bio
Jan Mikhail Tiu 秋彥, MBA
Marika is both a logical and creative thinker. I had the privilege to work with her at Microsoft where we lead the Global Team for Security and Privacy for AI Operations Secure Annotations Security and Privacy Pillar. She takes initiatives to manage meetings, determine deliverables and follow through until delivery and execution. She is also very inquisitive and curious and asks the right questions at the right time and from the right people. She also does not settle for mediocrity and tries to achieve the best outcomes with the greatest impact. Despite being goal oriented, she also finds creative ways to deliver her message and to achieve goals both for herself and for those that she works with. Lastly, Marika is very adaptable and flexible, able to work on new tasks and finish with style.

Working alongside Marika at Microsoft was an absolute pleasure. Marika possesses an amazing ability to generate bright ideas that effectively tackle the issues at hand and lead initiatives for change. From the early stages, her contributions were crucial in building a strong team. As time went on, Marika's continued efforts made an impeccable impact on maintaining an inclusive culture of the team. Moreover, Marika has the invaluable open-mindedness, embracing the ideas of those who decide to hop onboard to join her endeavor. While being talented herself, Marika never failed to make me feel recognized while working on the same projects. She's able to generate an inclusive collaboration environment where I felt welcomed, valued, and belonged as a fellow contributor. Thanks to her exceptional performance, Marika was promoted within her first year, surpassing many of her peers in our close-knit global team of nearly 200 professionals. Marika’s creativity, wisdom, and exceptional communication skills left a lasting impression on me. I wholeheartedly recommend Marika for any projects she chooses to be a part of.
