Hi there! I’m Raúl Antón Cuadrado

I love remote and distributed communication, leadership, and learning. I believe in how distributed co-participation can change the world.

So I blog about remote leadership and learning and I relish lecturing and giving talks, creating the future workplace makes me happy and… I love exchanging points of view. Why don’t we talk?
