Wini Anggreni joined Rubrik more than six years ago as the company’s first Account Executive in Indonesia. Following her previous company’s acquisition, Wini sought new opportunities and had interest in continuing her career at a dynamic startup. She was immediately drawn to and intrigued by Rubrik’s meaningful purpose of securing the world’s data. The company’s growth potential was a bonus for her. Fueled by her ambition and supported by Rubrik’s culture of empowerment, Wini has done some of the best work of her career since joining. I was fortunate to connect with Wini and ask her some questions about her Rubrik career journey.
Q: Which RIVET Value do you identify with the most?
A: Relentlessness.
I’ve been with Rubrik for nearly seven years and have seen firsthand how important relentlessness is. In my early days with the company, our Asia team was small. However, we were relentless in our pursuit for growth and success and stayed focused on customer acquisition and the region’s growth. Years later, our team has grown significantly and I see this as a true testament to our unwavering relentlessness.
Q: Can you describe a personal experience at Rubrik that aligns with our mission to secure the world’s data?
A: I have a couple experiences that come to mind.
The first centers around the constant impact our support team has on our business. Regardless of the challenge, Rubrik’s support team always goes above and beyond for our clients. Our clients are trusting us to secure their data and we take great amounts of pride in this.
The second thing that comes to mind is my team’s bond with our marketing team in Singapore. They have been instrumental in helping us navigate the unique challenges of the Asian market. Together, we’ve helped countless businesses and individuals safeguard their data from cyberthreats and I feel this truly embodies Rubrik’s mission to secure the world’s data.
Q: What initially attracted you to Rubrik, and what has kept you here for nearly seven years?
A: I joined Rubrik after my previous company was acquired. I thrive in environments where I’m able to help build impactful solutions and Rubrik presented me with an opportunity to do just that. Oddly enough, I nearly failed the interview process but am grateful for the hiring manager who saw my potential and offered me the opportunity. When I first joined, I was the youngest and only female Account Executive in the APAC region, surrounded by seasoned professionals. I quickly began to leverage my existing network in the banking and government sectors to secure early wins for Rubrik. Within a year, I exceeded my targets and was promoted. The opportunities for growth and the meaningful impact we create for our customers have kept me motivated and inspired throughout my journey here.
Q: What has been the most fulfilling aspect of your work at Rubrik?
A: The most fulfilling aspect of my work at Rubrik is knowing our solutions have a real impact on peoples’ lives. Our technology secures data, aids in attack recovery, and promotes business continuity. It’s about more than technology though; it’s about the trust we build, the peace of mind we ensure, and the safer world we contribute to. What we do matters.
Q: How would you describe your leadership style, and how does your team embody Rubrik’s values?
A: I’m honored to lead such a talented team of Rubrikans.
When I interview new candidates, I think back to my own experiences and look for individuals who demonstrate potential, have ambition, are eager to learn, and are motivated by the meaningful work we’re doing as a company. My team relentlessly pursues customer satisfaction and we’re constantly pushing boundaries. We’re full of energy and determination and we celebrate and support each other both through wins and challenging experiences. Collectively, we strive for excellence and know that our work has a real impact on both customers and the world around us.
