92: Alex Bouaziz, Founder & CEO of Deel

We’ve talked a lot on this podcast about emerging and resulting trends that will stick with us a function of COVID-19: higher education being disrupted, consumer health being further tech enabled, the rise of crypto, and AI and machine learning impacting functionally every industry.

But underneath the core of every industry we’ve talked about is people and global workforces. It’s why this week I was excited to chat with Alex Bouaziz, Founder and CEO of Deel. Deel is solving the incredibly complex and simultaneously important issue of global payroll.

As workforces have gone remote and international over the course of the past year, Deel has developed software to help companies stay compliant with local laws and tax systems while keeping international onboarding smooth and seamless. Deel has raised over $200M over the past year and just publicly announced a $1B valuation.
