Managing a remote team through flexibility and trust

MANAGING a team of remote workers can be a handful. This is especially true for Kris Giswold, senior vice-president of finance for Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa (AMEA) at Mondelez International.

With responsibilities as a working mother, and 3 different markets to manage at the snack company, Giswold has a lot on her plate. But she manages through prioritisation and flexibility.

With team members spread across the globe, one person's early morning is another's late evening, and meetings can take place at varying points of the day.
