Entrepreneurship, Fractional Executives and Outsourced Tech Talent: Insights from the Temy Podcast
At Outrigger Group, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of supporting innovative companies as they scale, particularly in times of uncertainty. A recent conversation on the Temy Podcast, featuring Outrigger Co-Founder and CEO Evan Schnidman, highlighted Evan and his entrepreneurial journey and the benefits of a fractional executive approach. In particular, the conversation touched on how employing fractional executives can allow companies to more effectively leverage outsourced dev teams, like those in Ukraine.
This blog dives into key takeaways from the podcast and why the future of entrepreneurship and innovation will increasingly depend on tapping into global talent, including Ukraine’s resilient tech community.
Tapping Into Outsourced Tech Talent on a Global Scale
In the podcast, Evan emphasized the need for global companies to recognize global tech professionals not as just a remote workforce, but as strategic partners capable of driving major projects and scaling innovation. Such outsourced engineers and entrepreneurs are particularly well-versed in solving complex problems, often under extreme conditions, making them a valuable asset in today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving business world.
One of the key themes discussed was advocacy—how we, as a global business community, can support the professional development of tech talent in areas like Ukraine. This goes beyond hiring and includes creating an environment where such entrepreneurs can thrive. Whether through investment, mentorship, or strategic partnerships, businesses that prioritize advocacy will not only contribute to the well-being of the global tech ecosystem but also unlock new avenues for growth and innovation.
At Outrigger Group, our fractional consulting model allows us to bridge gaps for innovative companies looking to scale by tapping into global talent pools. We help businesses navigate the complexities of entering new markets or integrating international talent, offering both strategic advice and practical support. An important note here: while talent may be equally distributed globally, opportunity is not. By tapping into under-represented markets (both domestically and internationally), companies can often get premium talent at a fraction of the cost.
A Path Forward for Entrepreneurs and Innovators
At Outrigger Group, we believe that the future of entrepreneurship lies in global collaboration. The challenges faced by international tech professionals are significant, but so are the opportunities. By advocating for and investing in these skilled individuals, businesses can gain not just a competitive edge, but also play a role in shaping a more inclusive and innovative global tech ecosystem.
Whether you’re looking to tap into the expertise of outsourced engineers or seeking fractional consulting support to guide your scaling efforts, Outrigger Group is here to help. As Evan highlighted on the Temy Podcast, mastering entrepreneurship today means embracing global talent and fostering advocacy for tomorrow’s tech leaders.
