Congratulations to Jonathan Goldsmith, for being named the 2025 Global Payroll Titan. Jonathan is the GM and Vice President at Remote where he combines his 30 years of payroll experience with a visionary approach to payroll transformation. His leadership at Remote took payroll from a back-office function to a strategic, tech-enabled cornerstone of global business operations.
Jonathan is a visionary leader with a passion for payroll. Under his direction, Remote has expanded its payroll services from a single country to more than 60 countries while keeping operations fully in-house. By combining compliance expertise with smart automation, he has streamlined processes, reduced administrative burdens, and improved overall accuracy. Jonathan is also a committed advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. He built a female-led leadership team in a traditionally male-dominated tech space by focusing on talent over titles and leveraging Remote's global model to foster a high-performing and inclusive payroll organization trusted by companies worldwide.
The Global Payroll Titan award program celebrates, empowers, and recognizes the outstanding professionals responsible for processing multi-country payrolls. A Global Payroll Titan is a professional who has a strong commitment to the global payroll industry, demonstrates innovative thinking, and has measurable positive effects for their organization.
