About Mike Mathew

I’m a Sales Development Representative at K2 Group - a Great Place to Work® with an NPS® of 82 - focused on helping organizations create smarter, more effective global mobility experiences for their people.I started my career in recruitment, where I learned how businesses truly grow: through people, conversations, and consistent value creation. That environment sharpened my ability to navigate complex discussions, handle rejection with composure, think commercially, and build strong relationships with purpose.Transitioning into sales wasn’t a pivot; it was a natural progression. I moved from connecting talent to opportunity to connecting organizations with solutions that directly impact their workforce, risk management, and growth strategy.I bring a recruiter’s curiosity, a consultant’s mindset, and a salesperson’s drive to every conversation.
