Deel Runs 7,000 People With No Office ft. Yaron Lavi of Deel

Remote work isn’t a perk anymore - it’s a real test of how a company operates.

Some teams handle it with focus and speed. Others fall apart.

In our latest conversation, Yaron Lavi, CTO of Deel, broke down what it actually looks like to run a fully remote company of 7,000 people across 61 countries - and why so many teams still get it wrong.

Deel, a proud partner of IsraelTech, has built one of the most global tech workforces on the planet. Yaron explained why their model works:

• Small teams, clear ownership, almost no bureaucracy

• Hiring talent in places most companies never look

• Engineers deploying 50 times a day

• Parents often being the most reliable operators

• And why juniors struggle without daily, hands-on mentoring

He also didn’t shy away from the Israeli angle:

We’re world-class at solving problems fast, but we still cling to habits that make remote work harder than it should be.

Deel isn’t theorizing about the future of work - they’re living it at scale.

And we’re proud to collaborate with them as part of IsraelTech’s mission to highlight the people shaping global tech.
