Created 9 years ago in Technology / Software Development

How do you staff and manage a high-performing distributed team? What tools should you use? How do you build the right culture and accountability? How do you pay remote team-members?
Expert in Distributed Agile Development (I'm a CSM), ensuring teams are effective and efficient. Focusing on collaboration and communication tools, culture, processes, development environment, and other topics.
I've built and managed countless teams across most time-zones, and currently exploring the best ways to bridge the gap between colocated teams members and their distributed counterparts.

What can I help you build or solve today? Note: I'm currently building my Clarity.fm profile and I'm happy to provide discounts in exchange for reviews. Let me know what you're working on! I love creating value by building products and companies. How can we build a future of abundance with the right mix of people, process, and technology? I'm an Innovator, problem solver, adventurer who's interested in the power technology has to improve our lives (as well as how important it is to get away from it all when possible). Alongside building new things, I'm also the person that gets called when problems stumped everyone, and a resolution is needed ASAP. I love taking control of a difficult situation, doing root cause analysis & research, getting to the bottom of things, and figuring out and executing a path forward. I've done this in small startups/tech companies to fortune 100 companies. I work with ideas, taking them from conception, strategy, architecture, delivery, and post-delivery execution/operations. I enjoy thinking about how we can improve systems through building platforms, apps, processes, and anything else that can make things more efficient while creating value. I'm currently working on a few ventures of my own as well as consulting for a few clients.

Tomas is one of those managers you dream of working for. He is an expert in his field and provides every opportunity for others to succeed. Tomas' enthusiasm for success can't help but spill over into others he interacts with. I guess the best recommendation I can provide is that I would cross an ocean to work for Tomas again if he asked for my help.

His passion for the group’s mission and the promotion of causes we supported was central to our growth and success. Working under his leadership was an absolute privilege.
Source: LinkedIn Thomas Shuster May 7, 2014Tomas and I worked closely together founding Social Capital, and we quickly established a strong personal and professional relationship. He is a colleague, a friend, and someone I admire.
The thing I appreciate most about Tomas is his ability to simplify complex information. He has the right balance of technical expertise and strategic focus. Tomas can put any idea into action, and he can do almost anything on his own... Strategy, technology, etc.
Lastly, Tomas is committed to results, and he respects the people he works with. He is always on time, and he goes above and beyond to help the team get results. There are four to five people I would start a business with, and Tomas is definitely one of them.
