Acquisition adds identity and device management to Remote, moving toward one system for every global team

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote, the leading global employment operating system, today announced the acquisition of Bravas, a French software company specializing in identity and device management. The acquisition will bring best-in-class identity and device management to the Remote platform, extending Remote's vision of a single system that manages the full employee lifecycle for teams operating anywhere in the world.

Remote is the platform companies trust for employment, payroll, and compliance, across every market they want to grow. To date, equipping an international team to be productive has required a separate stack of tools, vendors, and local IT expertise. Bravas, co-founded by François-Xavier Signori, Yoann Gini, and Olivier Gaudéchoux, unifies identity and device management to make IT invisible to employees and automatic for the teams running it, with data security and compliance built in. As Bravas becomes part of Remote, Remote customers will gain a stronger foundation for managing the full employee lifecycle from a single place, built on the global infrastructure and expertise they already rely on. For Bravas customers, joining Remote means faster product development and the confidence that comes with being backed by infrastructure built for enterprise scale.

The acquisition readies Remote customers for the workforce of today and also tomorrow. As AI agents and automated workflows take on a larger role in how companies operate, the identity layer that governs access becomes more critical and complex. Bravas is built on the open standards the industry is aligning on, ensuring Remote customers will have the infrastructure to manage every identity in their business as the landscape evolves.

"Global teams are becoming the default, not the exception, and the tools supporting them have to keep pace. The team at Bravas has built device and identity technology that meets the demands of international teams today while also being ready for what comes next," said Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. "Our vision has always been that Remote is the single system that makes global teams work. Bravas brings us closer to that."

"We built Bravas for the companies operating at the frontier of global work, where the stakes around device security, identity, access, and compliance are highest," said François-Xavier Signori, CEO of Bravas. "Remote has built that same rigor into its global employment infrastructure, and together we can keep raising the bar for what global teams can expect from their platforms."

Bravas is Remote's third acquisition addressing a dimension of the modern employee lifecycle, joining Easop for equity incentive management and Atlas for global spend management. Each has expanded what Remote customers can do without adding complexity to how they work, reflecting Remote's commitment to being the single platform global teams rely on to scale, so they can focus on building their business rather than managing the tools behind it.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote, the leading global employment operating system, today announced five senior leadership appointments as more companies rely on the platform to hire, manage, and pay teams worldwide. Remote now supports tens of thousands of customers and has processed billions of dollars in payroll.

As companies consolidate global hiring, payroll, and compliance into a single platform, Remote is investing in expanded leadership to support that shift. The focus is on deepening its AI foundations and expanding product capabilities to support larger, more complex organizations.

These hires reflect Remote's next phase of hypergrowth, with a stronger focus on enterprise customers and building a more scalable, coordinated business across revenue, growth, brand, and product.

Michelle Adams joins Remote as Chief Business Officer, leading global sales, partnerships, and marketing. She previously ran go-to-market at Algolia and led global sales at Dropbox, where she helped drive international expansion and enterprise adoption.

Jean-Baptiste Larramendy joins as Vice President of Sales Development. He previously led global sales development at GitLab and held senior leadership roles at Salesforce.

"The opportunity in global employment is massive," said Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. "Most companies still manage global teams through disconnected systems. That works early on, but it doesn't hold up at scale. Fixing that is what we're focused on, and it requires the right leadership across the business."

"As more companies build globally from day one, the complexity across legal, tax, compliance, and payroll becomes mission critical," said Michelle Adams, Chief Business Officer at Remote. "What stood out to me is the depth of the platform and the discipline behind it. Owning that infrastructure and maintaining a high standard of rigor is what builds lasting trust. There's a real opportunity to build on that foundation and help ambitious companies turn global talent into a competitive advantage."

Acquisition will bolster Remote's HR and payroll platform with integrated financial tools to streamline operations for modern workforces

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote, the leading global employment operating system, has completed the acquisition of Atlas, the expense management solution for global teams. The acquisition provides the foundation for a new category of products from Remote to enable customers to offer more holistic and modern employee experiences to their teams.

With companies of all sizes now hiring far beyond their HQ cities, managing the day-to-day financial operations of a distributed team remains a fragmented process. Led by co-founders Karen Serfaty and Gianina Rossi, Atlas solves this by offering a unified, AI-native platform for global teams including:

• The Atlas Card: The first global employee card designed specifically for remote teams, allowing companies to manage expenses and stipends for employees worldwide with customized rules and global support.
• Flexible Points System: Allowing companies to allocate budgets without processing reimbursements, while letting employees select their own perks, such as wellness, transit, or entertainment.
• Integrated Global Healthcare: The ability to offer and manage local health insurance across multiple key markets, including the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, from a single dashboard.

"The complexity of cross-border financial management is one of the last great barriers to truly efficient global operations," said Job van der Voort, co-founder and CEO of Remote. "From the first time I met the Atlas team, I was impressed by the elegance and depth of the solutions they've built to this problem. By building Atlas into Remote, we can more effectively solve those daily headaches for our customers and make life better for their teams. I'm thrilled to welcome such a talented group of builders who share our obsession with making global employment feel truly local."

"We started Atlas because we believe that everyone, regardless of where they are located, should have access to the best working conditions. Part of solving this problem means providing global employees with access to financial solutions like a personal employee card and benefits such as healthcare," said Karen Serfaty, co-founder and CEO of Atlas. "We are big fans of the work that Job, Marcelo, and the Remote team have done to advance the vision of a global workforce. We are joining Remote because we believe that we can get further together. We are very excited for the future of global employment and for all things to come for teams choosing Remote in 2026."
