For decades, the traditional model of accessing elite, specialized talent required uprooting professionals from their home countries and moving them to localized tech hubs, such as the United States.

I have enjoyed seeing the evolution of technology that actually makes someone’s job easier. Everyone’s focused on AI right now, but I don’t think success is about being first to market or being able to say you have AI everywhere in your platform. If you can’t quickly answer how your AI system is improving your work experience or alleviating previous pain points, what’s the point of implementing it at all? What excites me most is the combination of humans and AI working together. With AI involved, my team can move away from repetitive admin tasks to the strategic work where human judgment and perspective really matter. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe functions like timekeeping, payroll, and onboarding aren’t impor...
