Remofirst, a global HR tech leader in Employer of Record (EOR)
solutions, today announced the addition of Masha Sutherlin as the
company’s new Director of Business Operations. Sutherlin brings
over 15 years of experience in global people strategy, mobility,
and expansion to Remofirst, where she will play a pivotal role in
driving the company’s mission to democratize global hiring and
enable businesses to compliantly hire employees and contractors in
over 180 countries.
Sutherlin’s journey to Remofirst is rooted in her personal and
professional experiences. "There was something deeply compelling
about the story of two immigrants who built a startup aimed at
opening doors to remote talent worldwide," Sutherlin shared. "As
someone who moved to the U.S. at a young age in search of better
opportunities, I understand firsthand the challenges and
opportunities that come with crossing borders to pursue your
dreams. I’m thrilled to contribute my energy and passion to a cause
that resonates so deeply with my own journey, and to help Remofirst
continue breaking down barriers for talent everywhere."
In her new role, Sutherlin is focused on setting up effective
business operations in new markets. Remofirst’s platform helps
companies to manage their international HR and employ talent in
more than 180 countries. With Sutherlin’s leadership, Remofirst
will be adding new countries and services globally.
Prior to Remofirst, Sutherlin served as Global Director of
Corporate Legal & Mobility for Deel, and led expansion in more
than 40 countries. For Nubank, she was Head of Global People and
Ops, as well as Head of Mobility. She also held senior roles at
Workday and at Palantir, where she spent six years in various
expansion and mobility roles helping expand the company to over 30
countries.
"Masha's deep expertise and innovative approach are exactly what
we need as we continue to expand our global footprint,” said
Nurasyl Serik, CEO and Co-founder of Remofirst. “As Remofirst
continues to grow, Masha’s extensive experience in scaling
operations up from zero in several high-growth companies positions
her to make a substantial impact at Remofirst.”
Volod Fedoriv, COO and Co-founder of Remofirst, commented,
"Masha’s ability to ask the tough questions and challenge the
status quo is something we truly value at Remofirst. Her leadership
style, combined with her deep operational expertise, will help us
refine and enhance our services as we continue to scale globally.
We’re excited to see the impact she will make."
Sutherlin is also passionate about fostering a culture of
transparency and accountability within diverse and geographically
dispersed teams. "When leading highly diverse teams, it's crucial
to model the behaviors you wish to see,” said Sutherlin. “I
prioritize being direct, questioning assumptions, and openly
acknowledging failures. This approach helps build a culture of
mutual respect and effective collaboration across diverse
groups."
As Remofirst continues to grow, Sutherlin’s background in global
expansion and her commitment to challenging the status quo will be
instrumental in enhancing the company’s services. "The core of the
Remofirst experience is our platform, and my background in building
products and understanding customer and partner journeys will
inject a fresh perspective,” said Sutherlin. “Together, we can
create an amazing and intuitive experience for our clients,
employees, and partners."
