Expertise
Three things I actually know about
Everything else I'll tell you I don't know.
Employer of Record
I help companies find and work with the right EOR provider. No vendor pitch. Just honest advice.
Global payroll
Payroll across multiple countries is messier than most vendors admit. I help you figure out what actually works.
International hiring
Building a distributed team? I've done it. Here's what I learned.
About
I build companies in global employment
I've spent 10 years figuring out how global hiring actually works. Not how vendors say it works.
I started Employ Borderless because the EOR space needed an honest voice. Too much marketing, not enough truth. I've built tools, written guides, and helped hundreds of companies make better hiring decisions across borders.
My goal is simple: make global employment less confusing. For everyone.
In progress
I'm documenting it in real time
I started a 60-day challenge to share what building companies actually looks like. Not just the wins. The full picture. Decisions, mistakes, numbers, and all.
If you're building something in global employment, you'll probably recognize a few things.
Portfolio
Four companies, one problem
All of them exist because global hiring is harder to research than it should be. Different angles on the same gap.
