In this condensed recap of Sourcery with host Molly O'Shea and guest Shuo Wang, CRO of Deel, you’ll hear how the company grew from $100M to $1B+ ARR by treating compliance, payroll, legal, and sales like a science. Instead of expanding country by country, Deel launched with local entities in place across markets, helping it serve talent in 160 countries and win customers from startups to Chanel, Hermès, and banks. The conversation also covers Shuo’s MIT robotics mindset, why she sees sales as engineering, how Deel keeps culture aligned across 120 countries, and what founders can learn about global thinking, execution, and AI.
