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."

Why Latin America is a top choice for nearshoring

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."
