In this episode of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, host Brian Samson, founder of Plugg Technologies, chats with Amir Reiter, CEO of CloudTask, about how Medellín, Colombia has become a hidden gem for building high-performing global sales teams.
From building his first team in an Airbnb to scaling a $6M+ revenue operation with over 265 contractors, Amir shares how CloudTask evolved from a service agency into a full-blown B2B marketplace for GTM (go-to-market) talent and software.
They dive deep into:

- How to scale with Latin American tech talent
- Contractor loyalty vs. W2 mindsets
- Navigating culture, compliance, and team-building in Colombia
- How AI is reshaping hiring and tech operations
- Lifestyle perks of living and working from Medellín
Whether you’re a startup founder, tech exec, or just exploring nearshore team strategies, this episode delivers real insights from someone who’s built it—on the ground.
