Chase Warrington
Head/Host
Globally minded professional with nearly 15 years of remote work experience leading distributed teams from locations across the US, Europe, Asia, and South America.
Head of Remote at Doist, the creators of Todoist & Twist, supporting 25M+ customers, and a leading remote-first organization with 100+ employees spread throughout 30+ countries, spanning all time zones.
I'm passionate about the movement towards distributed teams, and the positive impact it is having on income equality, the environment, work-life balance, and emerging markets. Throughout my career, I have always felt that the confines of the office were limiting in myriad ways, and to be given the freedom to choose how, where, and when you work, should be within everyone's reach. It has not always been the case, but today it is possible - and if remote at scale is done correctly, the opportunities for individuals and organizations to thrive are beyond measure.
The "why" behind my work is rooted in these beliefs and a strong desire to see the remote work movement migrate into the mainstream. With this in mind, I contribute as an instructor, writer, and speaker on subjects related to remote teamwork, for many of the major platforms empowering location-independent professionals and organizations. I've had the privilege to address teams on all continents on this subject, and present or publish work for outlets such as Forbes, Running Remote, wrkfrce, RePeople, The Remote Times, Remote-how, The Remote Future Summit, and Work From Anywhere, amongst others.
