With John joining us, we are well-positioned to accelerate our mission to shape the future of work.

In response to his appointment, Kelly said, "It's inspiring to see how far the company has come already, reflecting Remote's agility and market fit. With our team spanning continents, we have so much collective expertise to tap into and I believe that will further propel our remarkable growth."

Embodying the company's ethos, Kelly will be working remotely and asynchronously from his location of choice – Texas. With Kelly's wealth of experience and proven track record, Remote is confident to set a solid footing in their ambition of shaping the future of work and becoming the leader in global HR platform.
