The unprecedented outbreak of COVID19 has accelerated remote working over the past two years, presenting a unique opportunity for companies to build diverse teams that combine global mindsets with on the ground presence in the most promising markets around the world!



Remote working, however, presents some challenges. Building a cohesive local team is hard enough, but communication can quickly deteriorate when team members come from diverse cultures and work across different, often conflicting time zones. In this episode of the Nest on Clubhouse, we'll discuss what it takes to build a global team in today's remote environment, its impact on diversity in the workplace, and how we communicate and create.


We were joined by panelists Tobi Lafinhan Co-founder at Venture for Africa, Grace Njunge - Global Chief of Staff at Dalberg and Lundie Strom, Partnerships and Communications Lead at Untapped Global.



Untapped Global's goal is to connect international investors to high-growth frontier markets. We host The Nest investment network and have monthly discussions each first Thursday of the month on investing and entrepreneurship in emerging markets on Clubhouse.
