How it started

Every week at Teilur we talk to brilliant leaders building teams across borders. Those conversations were too good to keep to ourselves so we started recording them.

The idea

Teilur connects US companies with pre-vetted tech talent across Latin America. Along the way, our team has had hundreds of candid conversations with the people doing the hardest part: building, hiring and leading great engineering teams.

Tech Leaders turns those conversations into an open series practical, unscripted, and useful whether you're hiring your first engineer or your hundredth.

Your host

Melanie Valdés Marín

Teilur Talent

Melanie sits down with industry leaders to dig into the real questions behind hiring and leadership what works, what doesn't, and what they wish they'd known earlier. No fluff, no scripts, just the kind of conversation you'd want to have over coffee.
