Remote, the leader in building, managing, and supporting global distributed workforces, today announced the appointment of Michiel Boere as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Boere will be responsible for the global financial strategy and operations of the company as it enters its next phase of growth.

"Michiel is a great fit as Remote’s first CFO – he brings extensive experience in leading the financial operations of high-growth technology businesses as well as a personal commitment to Remote’s mission of enabling more people from anywhere to participate in the global economy,” said Job van der Voort, CEO and Co-Founder of Remote. “His leadership will be invaluable in building Remote into a generational company.”

Boere joins Remote from Uber, where he held various roles and most recently was Global CFO for UberEats. He also serves on the supervisory board of the RAI Amsterdam and previously worked as CFO of Greetz, a Dutch ecommerce company. Like all Remote employees, Boere will work from his chosen location in the world – Amsterdam. He reports directly to CEO Job van der Voort.

“Globally distributed businesses are the future. Remote is empowering the next generation of companies to scale internationally in a way that wasn't possible just four years ago without a lot of upfront capital investment. Now every company can compete in the global market,” said Boere. “I am excited to join Remote during this period of incredible growth to build a finance function that supports Remote’s work to help more companies realize the benefits of a globally distributed workforce.”

As Boere joins Remote, former Senior Vice President of Finance Pedro Monteiro de Barros moves into the role of General Manager, Contractors. With the number of contractors on the Remote platform more than doubling globally within the past year, Barros will act as a leader of Remote’s contractor platform end-to-end and focus on expanding Remote’s reach and leadership within the market.
