Today we’re delighted to be talking outsourcing, distributed development, and empathy with Andy Hilliard, the CEO of Accelerance. Accelerance is a software outsourcing consultancy - in other words, they help other companies to build distributor teams and make them functional.

Andy has ended up drawing on many of the traditional DevRel pillars, namely empathy, and we learn about how his time in the Peace Corps inspired his passion for global business, and piqued his interest in the myriad of different perspectives from the international community.

He talks to us about how he tries to understand people on a human level, and empower them. In distributed development, it’s all about trying to create stickiness and common ground. He also put our minds at ease about AI - when no one truly knows what the future holds, there’s probably not much point in losing sleep over it.
