Five new executives join to lead GTM and Design functions as companies around the world manage their entire workforces through Remote

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote, the leading global employment operating system, today announced five senior leadership appointments as more companies rely on the platform to hire, manage, and pay teams worldwide. Remote now supports tens of thousands of customers and has processed billions of dollars in payroll.

As companies consolidate global hiring, payroll, and compliance into a single platform, Remote is investing in expanded leadership to support that shift. The focus is on deepening its AI foundations and expanding product capabilities to support larger, more complex organizations.

These hires reflect Remote's next phase of hypergrowth, with a stronger focus on enterprise customers and building a more scalable, coordinated business across revenue, growth, brand, and product.

Introducing:

Michelle Adams joins Remote as Chief Business Officer, leading global sales, partnerships, and marketing. She previously ran go-to-market at Algolia and led global sales at Dropbox, where she helped drive international expansion and enterprise adoption.

Jean-Baptiste Larramendy joins as Vice President of Sales Development. He previously led global sales development at GitLab and held senior leadership roles at Salesforce.

Cat Paterson joins as Vice President of Growth Marketing. She previously held senior marketing leadership roles at Meta across APAC, as well as at PepsiCo and eBay.

Leah Walters joins as Vice President of Corporate Marketing. She previously led global communications at monday.com and public affairs at BLJ Worldwide.

Pedro Marques joins as Vice President of Design. He previously held senior design leadership roles at Personio and Shopify.

"The opportunity in global employment is massive," said Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. "Most companies still manage global teams through disconnected systems. That works early on, but it doesn't hold up at scale. Fixing that is what we're focused on, and it requires the right leadership across the business."

"As more companies build globally from day one, the complexity across legal, tax, compliance, and payroll becomes mission critical," said Michelle Adams, Chief Business Officer at Remote. "What stood out to me is the depth of the platform and the discipline behind it. Owning that infrastructure and maintaining a high standard of rigor is what builds lasting trust. There's a real opportunity to build on that foundation and help ambitious companies turn global talent into a competitive advantage."
