Many Projects started as remote collaborations and many early companies also embraced this remote distributed collaboration nature – a decade before it became mainstream. Percona is not an exception – it was started as a remote company and has continued on this path more than 16 years later.
In this presentation, Peter will look into the question of why if you’re building a business you should consider structuring it as a remote company.
We also will look at other company and team structures you may choose to have with the Remote Company, their benefits, and drawbacks. We will talk about different nationalities and cultures, languages, and timezone alignment challenges, and what approaches you can use to manage them.
This talk will be based on Peter Zaitsev’s 16 years of experience running Percona, and more than 20 years working remotely and being active in the remote work community.
