RELEVANT RESEARCH & PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Researcher | UCSB Department of Asian American Studies | August 2022-June 2023
Research Project: The Transformation of Asian and Asian American Stereotypes and Representations in the United States

Conducted media content analysis to investigate how dominant narratives about Asians and Asian Americans have been constructed to serve shifting national interests and maintain racial hierarchies.
Analyzed a diverse range of sources, including magazine articles like “How to Tell Japs from the Chinese,” political cartoon “The Honorable Fifth Column,” and COVID-19 anti-Asian news reports.
Argued that while modes of expression evolve, the underlying hegemonic frameworks of stereotype persist, demonstrating the shift from overt to subtle forms of representation in the modern era.
This research, which drew upon frameworks of racial formation and stereotype theory, culminated in a 30 pages paper and a departmental presentation.

For much of her life and career, Mimi Irrizari operated in survival mode.

Her early leadership experience in the military taught her how to make decisions under pressure, assess risk quickly, and keep moving forward when conditions weren’t ideal. Those skills carried her into the technology industry, where she learned how often success depends not on talent alone, but on navigating systems that weren’t built with everyone in mind.

In tech, Mimi noticed a pattern: many people especially women and underrepresented leaders spend years mastering survival. They learn how to adapt, anticipate problems, and hold things together quietly. But few are ever shown how to transition from survival to succession from simply staying afloat to building something lasting.

That insight reshaped her work.

Today, Mimi is a GTM and commercial enablement leader helping product-led technology companies scale with intention. Across the US, UK, EMEA, and Africa, she has built the operating systems behind growth- supporting £10M+ in annual product spend and reducing execution cycle times by up to 50%. Her focus is no longer just on making things work, but on designing systems that endure.

Mimi brings a deeply human perspective to leadership, career development, and growth. She speaks openly about the shift from survival to succession how leaders move from reacting to shaping, from being indispensable to being replaceable, and from proving their worth to creating pathways for others.

Mimi’s talks connect lived experience with practical frameworks, offering audiences , quick strategies, language, clarity, and permission to think differently about success, leadership, and scale both in technology and in life.

Perry Greene is the President of Taylor Commercial, Inc., one of the largest siding contractors in the United States. Through his leadership, the company has grown to serve the Southeastern region, managing significant construction and renovation projects across major markets. Taylor Commercial has completed over 25 renovations of low-income housing and condominium communities, contributing to both the company’s success and the improvement of housing for numerous families.

Perry Clarke Greene was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and spent his early years in Athens, where his father worked as a minister at the Church of Christ campus. His family relocated frequently, moving to cities such as Memphis and Escondido, California, Gainesville, Florida, and eventually Riverdale, Georgia, where he settled by the time he was in eighth grade. Despite frequent moves, he remained determined to overcome challenges and build a future through hard work and dedication.

By the age of nine, Greene was earning money by cutting lawns and collecting cans. At twelve, he helped his family deliver 500 newspapers each morning before school. At fifteen, he worked alongside a business leader to help open the first Chick-fil-A Dwarf House locations in Riverdale and Jonesboro. When disciplined, he was handed books about rental properties and sales strategies, which helped spark his interest in business, personal growth, and financial independence.

In high school, Perry earned All-State and All-Region honors as a baseball player. He studied accounting while playing baseball for two years at Southern Union Junior College. When his plans for a professional baseball career changed, he shifted his focus to attending the University of Georgia. To support this goal, he joined the Navy Reserve, serving in Hawaii and Thailand. He later participated at Harding University before transferring to the University of Georgia, where he earned his degree in Accounting in 1996. That same year, he passed the CPA exam and began his career at Ernst & Young.

In 1998, Greene joined a family-owned construction business and advanced to general manager within six months. In 1999, he transitioned to Taylor Commercial, Inc., leading the company’s growth from $600,000 to over $45 million in annual revenue. The company expanded into ten states, completing many siding projects and renovations. Taylor Commercial earned awards, including the 1993 Heartland Commercial Contractor of the Year, multiple recognitions from Norandex Reynolds, and placement on the Inc. 5000 list in 2013. Beyond his business endeavors, he supported community initiatives by donating materials for a Vietnam War memorial and contributing to local projects. Perry Greene continues to pursue personal goals, mentor others, work on a book for homeowners, and enjoy time with his children and partner.
