If you could tell us a bit about yourself and your work experience?
As a third-culture kid (parents from different countries and I was born in a third country), travel is in my blood. By the age of 24, I had lived in eight countries.While I was working at TED I heard about digital nomadism and Remote Year in particular - I was totally taken by the concept. I majored in languages so the idea of traveling and using my languages really appealed to me. Initially, I thought that remote work was more common in tech, so I started learning to code and even launched the TED Coding Club.I flirted with remote work at NationSwell which had a “three days out, two days in” policy, and I loved it - so I took the plunge and joined Toptal, a fully-remote organization. The efficiency of remote work culture instantly hooked me to it.At Toptal I went full-blown nomad for 2.5 years working and exploring the world. I averaged approximately 60 countries a year and learned how to work across different time zones and cultures managing 20 Community Leaders while having a time difference of up to eight hours.What about digital nomadism appealed to you?

I think Toptal has the largest distributed workforce in the world. Could you tell us more about your work, team structure, and your everyday work in that role?

You were managing 20 Community Leaders, what did that look like in terms of management? What was your management approach?

What are your views on what the remote working landscape will look like in the next year?
