This week, we are launching Toptal\u2019s \u201cRise of Remote\u201d series, a special edition of the Talent Economy Podcast, featuring advice and perspectives from experts in remote work. Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has accelerated the gradual advance of remote work into a stampede, we thought it was extraordinarily relevant to create a special series dedicated to hearing from experts on how to succeed when working remotely. We continue the conversation with Toptal\u2019s VP of Talent Operations, Christy Schumann.

Schumann is accountable for ensuring successful client outcomes by delivering the right talent from our global network, matched to client business needs and time frame. She spent more than a decade in management consulting at Bain & Company and later joined Rackspace as general manager of their cybersecurity business.

Schumann discusses remote work productivity, the importance of defining success for your team, remote work tools, Toptal\u2019s strong culture, and her predictions on what the future holds for the global workforce.
