Pablo Miller on the Power of Nearshoring in Colombia
This is the full interview with Pablo Miller, as mentioned in episode 45 of the Scaling Tech podcast. Pablo, a Colombian-British entrepreneur and CEO/Founder of remoti, shares his global perspective on nearshoring and why Latin America, particularly Colombia, is a prime destination for outsourcing talent.
Key Insights
⚡Latin America is a top choice for U.S. companies looking for talent closer to home. Beyond the time zone advantage, Pablo highlights the region's other strengths. He says:
"People here, ultimately, we provide good conditions, a good career development plan. Latinos are very, very loyal people. [...] The technical skill set is very good. So outsourcing is not something that's just come up with all these sexy HR tech companies that have started in the last five years. This has been around. I'm sure you've seen it for many years. But ultimately, the level of talent here, just in Bogotá alone, we have over 200,000 for, let's say, mid to senior devs at the moment."
Episode Highlights
Why Latin America is a top choice for nearshoring
Pablo emphasizes the loyalty and technical expertise of Latin American professionals, particularly in Colombia, where cities like Bogotá boast a deep pool of skilled developers.
"Just in Bogotá alone, we have over 200,000 mid to senior developers at the moment."
The role of nearshoring in the global economy
Nearshoring doesn't just benefit companies-it also drives economic growth and opportunity in the region. Pablo shares his personal motivation for fostering this connection:
"One person's spending is another person's income. [...] If we're able to bring more jobs and put money into people's hands, it's simply going to help the economy. [...] Part of my mission and what gets me out of bed is if you want to just introduce people to this wonderful country. But most importantly, we can help U.S. companies turn around with efficiency, with people, and that’s what gets me out of bed every morning."

Inspired by Allison McMillan’s insights on continuous learning! Her approach to leadership growth through ongoing education is essential for today’s dynamic work environment. Great topic from Tavlin Consulting! You can easily reach your targeted audience through youtube channel with some optimization. Don't you want your youtube videos to get a larger audience?
My belt has moved between different mangement roles, they didn't think I would track them down years later after they abused me, but I did, they are sore and sorry.
True! When I was honest with my boss, he trusted me MORE! I worked under him 17 years. I knew he appreciated the focused desire to do 110% in all my tasks. Now I’m 58 and many young ones work with me. And I notice the ones that are honest. They win my trust!
Enjoyed listening/watching this! Glenn, I love how you explain AI.
This is oversimplifying, to a harmful degree. That's just not how GPTs work. You don't get an "average". In a way you could consider it like that, but an "average" in many dimensions and with plenty of complexity within it. Don't humans really just give an "average" of the opinions of people in their life? Can most humans create anything new, that isn't derivative? He has a point but that's only 1% of what he's actually saying, and the other 99% is going to confuse people. This is not a useful conversation to have, in such casual terms, it misses out so much that's important. The public are already confused by AI, and the media are doing their best to make it seem threatening. If anything, it's exactly as threatening as existing businesses are, and they harm our lives every day just using ordinary human faculties. Landlords threaten you and take your money for nothing, companies rob and abuse you, cartels fix pricing in a supposed "capitalist" "free market" economy that isn't. If anything, AI being intrinsically good, might well help the ordinary person. You *could* make an evil AI, but consider, what would you train it on? Most of everytthing that's ever been committed to writing by humans beings has been good-natured. To train an AI enough to be able to speak the language, you're necessarily exposing it to all sorts of humane and pro-social ideas.
Early on, I conversed with Chap GPT and at that time, it didn't seem to 'know' about Humpty Dumpty the large cannon that fell from its platform and could not be easily pulled from the mire. Chat GPT only knew of the political character.
Really enjoyed this!

seeing on 2023, thanks for sharing your very valuable experiences
Thank you Guillermo!
This is another good discussion. One question that haunts me, how big tech companies make market commitments about product launch and meets it. Say, I-phone launch. That's a question of predictability, right? Any insight, how they do it? Eager to learn.
Blessing of digital age is ability to soak knowledge from numerous source. Thank you brining this discussion and sharing with all. In order to explore further these topics just order the book as well. Looking forward for more such valuable discussions. Thank you!!
Wow, it's really fascinating to see how a business is born and how it grows! For me, it means that as the business grows, the people behind it grow more, bringing experiences in a kind of “multiverse of possibilities” 😅. I realized that with this there is no possibility to choose a specific thing and do just that, because as an entrepreneur you will face many challenges, and solving each challenge gives you more experience (unlocking more challenges and rewards like a challenge tree). Knowing the story behind every fact and decision makes us see the motivation through things! Great episode!
