Cynthia Watson

CYNTHIA WATSON understood remote work long before it was hip. She wrote her 1993 master’s thesis on telecommuting, then went on to build a career around the concept—running and advising a variety of companies while traveling the world. Today, as Executive Chair at Virtira, she continues to research remote best practices and develop training to make sure that everyone, whether working a few days from home or full time across the world, is thriving and productive.
