Nick Day is joined on The Payroll Podcast sofa by Marcelo Lebre, the COO and co-founder of Remote.com!

Marcelo was previously VP of Engineering at Unbabel and has held several CTO positions. He frequently speaks at events about leadership and managing remote teams and is a startup advisor and mentor to entrepreneurs.

Marcelo is a passionate engineer, proud dad, and sci-fi nerd who loves building products and scaling architectures to bring people together to build extraordinary things.

For those not yet familiar with Remote, Marcelo co-founded Remote in 2019 along with CEO Job van der Voort to simplify how companies employ global talent by opening up the world of work for every person, business, and country. Recently, in 2021 following a 150 million dollar funding rounds, the business was valued at over $1 billion. The business continues to evolve, and one of these evolutions has seen Remote take care of global payroll, benefits, compliance, and taxes. Remote.com continue to help and support companies so they can focus on their most important asset, their people.
