Remote Work Experience

I am cofounder of Touchbase.team, making virtual team catch-ups/meetings more productive and faster. Previously I ran a globally distributed team at Cisco investigating the future of work for customers.

I think these are 3 important parts to being successful as a remote worker

Discipline, flexibility, understanding. It’s important to match mood and energy on different ways across the day, from focused solo work to team-centric collaboration. I find it hard to brainstorm at 7pm with a coworker who just arrived at the start of their day at 8am.

Here's how I plan to contribute to The Remote Clan

Happy to contribute my thoughts and experiences, including where we’re at building Touchbase.team and generally any advice on building a startup that helps remote teams. Also happy to contribute views on the future of work from my time managing Cisco’s collaboration innovation labs.

Here's what I want to gain from The Remote Clan

Learn from the experiences of others and understand the challenges faced by remote teams as we move beyond the current coronavirus situation. Discover new tools and platforms over time and understand which work best for different needs.
