London, 09 September, 2025 - Perk, the global AI-powered platform for travel and spend, today announces the hiring of Nikita Miller as Chief Product Officer (CPO) to drive its product roadmap and innovation agenda. 

Bringing over a decade of product leadership experience, Nikita previously led product strategy at The Knot Worldwide. Prior to that she guided Trello through its integration post Atlassian acquisition, directly contributing to the global SaaS platform’s growth. 

Nikita is joining Perk at a pivotal time, as the company’s strategic investments in AI and automation across both operations and customer experience are driving significant growth. Previously based in the US, she will play a fundamental role in shaping the company’s North America expansion strategy, as it continues its global momentum as the fastest-growing travel and spend platform, with a 72% gross margin and 50% year-to-date revenue growth. 

Perk has also further strengthened its technology leadership team. Robin Smith, with over 20 years in travel technology, has been promoted to Chief Technology Officer to lead the company’s global engineering strategy. His leadership, and expertise in software architecture has been instrumental in building robust platforms and innovative systems, ensuring Perk remains a secure, scalable, and market-leading platform.

Jean-Christophe Taunay-Bucalo, President & COO at Perk commented: “What we’re building goes far beyond the traditional boundaries of travel and spend management. We are creating a best-in-class platform that redefines how businesses operate, and sets a new industry standard. With our strengthened leadership across our research and development orgs, we have the team in place to make that vision a reality.”
“Having spent my career living and working across North America, Europe and Asia, Perk stood out to me because of the ambition of its people and the strength of its values - a rare and powerful combination,” said Nikita Miller, Chief Product Officer at Perk. “As a builder, I believe the connection between product and customer success is critical, and too often overlooked. Working with visionary experts like Robin and the wider Perk R&D team, I see a unique path to turn big ambitions into real, tangible impact for our global customer base.”
Robin Smith, Chief Technology Officer at Perk, adds: “I’m thrilled to step into this role at such a transformative time for Perk. While it’s exciting to be at the forefront of new innovations such as AI, it’s just as important to cut through the hype and ensure we build solutions that are thoughtful, scalable, and lasting. My role is not only to champion innovation, but also to maintain the 7 star experience our customers know and love.”
