I stepped into the role of CPO & Partner amidst the global shift towards remote work, joining the founding executive team to spearhead the product strategy and steer to the company's evolution from a remote hiring platform to a boutique talent advisory and remote leadership consultancy. This period marked significant growth and adaptation, driven by strategic shifts and a focus on developing a resilient, human-centric approach to remote work and leadership in distributed companies.
