Not all regions are created equal when it comes to building high-performing remote teams.

In this new Nearshore Cafe Podcast short, I spoke with global BPO executive Stewart Wolfenson, who broke down how cultural and operational strengths vary across:

✅ Philippines – Service-first mindset. Perfect for support and customer care.

✅ Dominican Republic – Fast-paced, energetic, and ideal for outbound sales roles.

✅ Eastern Europe – Highly technical, adaptive, and excellent for problem-solving and dev-heavy work.

🔍 The takeaway?

Outsourcing isn’t just about cost—it’s about alignment. Cultural fit + task-specific strengths = higher ROI.
