Business Infrastructure - Curing Back Office Blues
Business:Entrepreneurship
Our next stop on our 12-country tour finds us in Split, Croatia by way of London, England. With a population of a little over 4 million, Croatia is an emerging hub for vacationers and digital nomads alike.
One such digital nomad, whose also our guide during this episode, is Bhairav Patel. He’s the co-founder and Managing Partner at Atom CTO, a company that provides fractional CTO services to the founders and leaders of startups who do not have a technology background.
As a self-proclaimed digital nomad, Bhairav shares what it’s like to live and conduct business in Croatia. In doing so, he offers context for selecting Croatia as his latest residence as he takes us on his career journey that’s found him traversing a good bit of the Eastern Hemisphere.
In this episode, Bhairav explains what it takes to not just start, but build and scale a business and how the covid pandemic catalyzed the growth of Atom CTO during a time when so many businesses failed. Pay close attention as he describes the importance of digitizing operations, leveraging social media to network with others in Croatia, and bringing talent in-house to build a global remote team.
Even if the digital nomad lifestyle isn’t for you, you’re guaranteed to learn some interesting facts about becoming one. You may even tinker with the idea for a month or so after listening to Bhairav!
