Hacking Borders - Podcast Information

I've spent my career building and scaling engineering organizations across borders. Teams of 20. Teams of 300+. North America, LATAM, APAC. Pinterest, Udemy, Zapier, Q2. What I've learned is that almost nobody talks honestly about how this actually works. Conference talks skip the parts where things broke. Vendor decks skip the parts where the system failed. And the playbook most leaders need most, the one written by someone who's already made the mistakes, usually doesn't get written at all. Hacking Borders is my attempt to fix that. Every episode, I sit down with one HR or engineering leader who has built a global team that holds up. We get into the decisions they made, the org designs that broke, the governance gaps no one warned them about, and the systems that finally worked when their engineering team doubled, then doubled again. Each conversation runs about 30 minutes on video and lands as a two-part newsletter on Friday mornings. Who I made this for - VPs of People, Heads of Talent, and TA leaders building global engineering teams - VPs of Engineering and CTOs scaling beyond their home market - Founders evaluating nearshore, offshore, or distributed engineering models for the first time Subscribe to the newsletter and follow this page for new episodes:
