This week, we are launching Toptal’s “Rise of Remote” series, a special edition of The Talent Economy Podcast, featuring advice and perspectives from experts in remote work. Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has accelerated the gradual advance of remote work into a stampede, we thought it was extraordinarily relevant to create a special series dedicated to hearing from experts on how to succeed when working remotely. In this episode, I’m joined by Toptal’s VP of Product, Kleanthis Georgaris.
Kleanthis drives the evolution of Toptal's platform and associated products, working closely with operations and engineering teams to drive and support our hypergrowth by providing a seamless, on-demand experience for clients and network talent. He specializes in digital talent networks, leveraging a diverse background at Microsoft, McKinsey, and many early- and late-stage startups, as well as launching a startup of his own.
Kleanthis and I discuss remote work best practices and how to structure a product team in, and for, a remote environment. We deep dive into the importance of communication, transparency, work-life balance, and how to overcome the “trust barriers” that often stereotype remote work.
