How to Build High-Performing Nearshore Tech Teams with Latin American Developers | 🎙 TNC
In this podcast episode, Brian Samson (host) and a guest discuss the dramatic shift toward nearshoring that accelerated after the COVID‑19 pandemic. The conversation highlights how sharing the same time zone—particularly between U.S. companies and Latin American developers—has become a critical factor for effective collaboration, faster feedback loops, and higher productivity. The speakers explore why nearshoring has become a "gust of wind" propelling tech teams forward, outline the advantages of working with talent in the same or adjacent time zones, and provide practical guidance on recruiting, onboarding, and managing high‑performing nearshore development teams in Latin America. Key takeaways include the strategic importance of time‑zone alignment, cultural compatibility, communication practices, and the operational frameworks that enable seamless integration of nearshore engineers into existing product pipelines.
