Most companies approach international hiring as a reaction to pain—talent shortages, cost pressure, or urgent market expansion. But solving today’s problem often creates tomorrow’s constraint. Others think hiring overseas is just about cost. It’s not. It’s about control, speed, and who gets left behind. I help leadership teams build and execute global workforce strategies that move fast—and still hold up five years later. Over the past 15 years, I’ve helped companies hire across 77+ countries—not just advising where to go, but actually building the teams that get them there. My work has quietly shaped some of the world’s most ambitious cross-border growth strategies—from enabling LATAM expansion for global entertainment and consumer brands, to reducing delivery costs across Asia for private equity portfolio companies, to building the infrastructure behind Europe’s largest staffing network. But this isn’t theory. Before founding Lundi, I built and led companies in North America, Europe, and Asia—including operations in the U.S., China, Poland, and Ukraine. I’ve been hiring internationally for my own ventures long before it was mainstream—and I’ve been on the ground in markets most people only know from spreadsheets. I wrote Winning the Global Talent War to share the playbook we’ve built—so companies don’t just move faster, they move intelligently and sustainably. Most strategy sessions are led by my team. But when the stakes are high—or the play is unusually bold—I step in personally. If you're planning a big move and want a second set of eyes, I’d be happy to hear what you're working on.
