About me

I spent the last decade leading distributed teams and developing a flexible remote-first operating model. In 2020 I took my approach global in a SaaS business. In 2023 I released my operating system to the world.

I first started managing a distributed team in 2014, for a global SaaS company. I didn't want those in different offices from me to be second-class citizens so I set about figuring out how to create what we'd now call a remote-first model.

In 2020 the CEO closed all offices globally, permanently and we needed to figure out how to go remote-first. My combination of experience, vision, and execution saw me leading the Future of Work strategy at the company.

I developed The Remote Team Operating System and a program alongside it to help leaders transform their teams into a flexible model that delivers both business results and a great environment for employees. The Operating System can be used by onsite, hybrid, or remote companies - the whole point is to take location out of the equation.

In 2024, LinkedIn recognised me as a Top Voice on the network.

Trying to decide if The Remote Team OS is for you?

Who, specifically, is this program for?

The Remote Team OS is for leaders and managers who want a highly productive, connected, and collaborative team in a remote or hybrid model.

If you want to cut your office costs but worry about how to manage a remote team, this program is for you.

If your distributed team are becoming overwhelmed and you're worried about losing them, this program is for you.

If you want to attract and retain top talent by offering remote work, this program is for you.

Who should NOT buy this program?

If you already have a framework for running a highly effective remote team, this program is probably not for you.

This program is focused building a new operating model for your team, and applying the mindset shifts needed for remote-first work and leadership.

This program is not a "done for you" service, as the outcome is unique for you and your team.

It is focused on helping you create the ideal system for your team using the frameworks within the OS.

    Keeping people engaged, challenged, and growing doesn't need to be hard. The Health and Membership sections of your team working agreement will give you the framework you need.

  • This is not the end, it is the beginning. The future is never here. What we cover here will have you defining your team continues to evolve.

    Finalise this first draft of your team working agreement with the Direction and Rhythm sections.
