Hate it or love it, remote work is not going away any time soon.  By now, most people are used to remote working. But what about hiring and leading?  Damien Filiatrault is fluent in both aspects. He is the founder and CEO of Scalable Path, a software staffing agency that matches leading companies and startups with vetted, remote software developers.   Since Scalable Path was founded in 2010, the company has amassed a freelance network of over 23,000 software developers in 177 countries. A powerful remote workforce.  Previously, he headed PHP development at SolutionSet, where he spent five months managing a team of developers in Goa, India. Damien has held sales and marketing positions at notable San Francisco technology companies, including Evite and CNET Networks.  Through his work at Scalable Path, Damien has helped developers in Latin America and other regions connect to the global talent marketplace and improve their quality of life.
