• The benefits of hiring world class talent anywhere in the world & how to build a completely remote team & culture
• Why Sastrify has launched so many virtual cultural initiatives like Friday Checkouts – where people thank a colleague for something they’ve done and share their weekend plans – and global online chess tournaments to build friendships across timezones and countries
• How Sastrify are creating a new product category to enable large enterprises to procure and operate their software
