Career Journeys @ Twilio: A Decade of Growth and Innovation

Karima Motiwala’s decade-long career at Twilio began after she left a project-management job in the Texas oil industry to pursue the faster-paced startup environment of Silicon Valley, where a networking connection led to a BDR role at Twilio in 2013. Early autonomy allowed her to test a streamlined prospect form that increased leads by 20%, while mentorship and cross-functional exposure shaped her interest in sales leadership. Twilio later asked her to move to Ireland to establish its Dublin office and build an EMEA BDR team, after which she remotely launched a Singapore-based team supporting the Asia Pacific and Japan region. Following a transfer to London, she experimented with a marketing operations role focused on using Twilio’s products internally before returning to sales as an account executive and eventually becoming senior manager for Strategic ISV accounts. Having held nine titles across four offices and lived abroad for seven years, Motiwala credits Twilio’s culture of experimentation, accessible leadership, and investment in professional development with helping her become a more independent and transparent leader.
