In this episode of Return on Insights, we sit down with Natalie Kaminski—founder of JetRockets and a true pioneer of remote-first leadership. Long before remote work became the norm, Natalie was building global teams across Eastern Europe, mastering the art of communication, trust, and human connection from a distance.
She shares the story behind scaling JetRockets into a thriving software company for non-tech founders, the lessons learned from radical transparency, and the power of focusing on value over hours. From her serendipitous partnership with her co-founder to the inspiration she drew from Reinventing Organizations, Natalie’s approach to leadership proves that remote work can be deeply personal, empowering, and effective.
Whether you’re leading a distributed team or simply navigating the challenges of hybrid work, this episode offers practical wisdom on building culture, fostering accountability, and creating space for people to thrive—no matter where they are in the world.
