fmr RBC Product Lead on Remote Freelance PMs

As we have more and more freelance and remote developers and designers, most companies are very much supportive and accepting of those types of roles. However, there is still a lot of stigma and objections to having a remote/freelancer product manager. In this session, Toptal Product Lead, Johnny Chao, discusses driving the movement of remote freelance product managers and how Toptal has accomplished it. He covers the Toptal story, and what the main challenges they had/still have to overcome, and the situations where it works to have a remote product manager, and those when it's not ideal.
