Episode Details

In this episode of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, host Brian Samson, founder of Plugg Technologies, chats with Amir Reiter, CEO of CloudTask, about how Medellín, Colombia has become a hidden gem for building high-performing global sales teams.

From building his first team in an Airbnb to scaling a $6M+ revenue operation with over 265 contractors, Amir shares how CloudTask evolved from a service agency into a full-blown B2B marketplace for GTM (go-to-market) talent and software.

They dive deep into:

• Why Medellín is ideal for remote-first teams
• How to scale with Latin American tech talent
• Contractor loyalty vs. W2 mindsets
• Navigating culture, compliance, and team-building in Colombia
• How AI is reshaping hiring and tech operations
• Lifestyle perks of living and working from Medellín

Whether you’re a startup founder, tech exec, or just exploring nearshore team strategies, this episode delivers real insights from someone who’s built it—on the ground.
