Near, Skilled, and Experts in AI: Latin America's Tech Edge
Firms like Glofy are helping U.S. tech leaders build high-performing distributed teams with strategic alignment. As demand for top-tier developers soars, U.S. companies are re-evaluating their outsourcing playbooks. Attention is shifting from longtime hubs such as India and Eastern Europe toward Latin America, where time-zone alignment and cultural affinity complement deep technical talent. The region now boasts a fast-growing pool of specialists in AI, machine learning, and data science, fluent in North-American business norms and English. Industries tapping that talent range from healthcare, insurance, and government to venture-backed tech startups. Glofy fills roles in mainstream stacks: .NET, Python, React and, increasingly, in enterprise platforms like SAP and Microsoft Dynamics, matching the market's appetite for large-scale system expertise. 'Glofy gives us both the speed and domain depth a high-stakes sector demands,' says Nicholas, Director of Technology at a company pioneering AI-driven analytics for high-risk patients. 'Their developers arrive trained and industry-savvy, cutting our onboarding curve and letting us execute fast where it matters most.' How Glofy Keeps Quality High Beyond simple staff augmentation, Glofy runs a four-stage talent funnel: a calibrated code challenge, live pair-programming with a senior engineer, a soft-skills and English assessment, and a cultural-fit interview focused on North-American agile rituals. Fewer than 3% of applicants clear all stages. The result is a bench of bilingual specialists ready to slot into daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and late-night incident calls without friction. Clients report ramp-up times trimmed by 40% and turnover rates well below regional averages metrics that translate into real velocity and cost certainty on complex roadmaps. 'Companies aren't just outsourcing tasks anymore, they're seeking integration, innovation, and velocity, all powered by AI and business insight,' notes Gonzalo Rosa, CEO of Glofy. With a vibrant tech ecosystem and surging AI focus, Latin America is no longer an alternative; it's the go-to region for scaling with vision and precision. Among the companies leading this shift, Glofy stands out as a quiet force driving growth with purpose.

Hedge fund titan Ken Griffin rips White House over tax bill
Hedge fund titan Ken Griffin ramped up his war of words with the Trump White House on Wednesday, blasting the president's so-called 'Big, Beautiful' tax bill for adding to Uncle Sam's eye-popping $36 trillion debt pile. The 56-year-old CEO of Citadel, who is worth $42 billion according to Forbes, told the business magazine's annual Iconoclast summit in New York City that if the bill passed, the country would 'unquestionably add several trillion dollars' to the US debt. 'There are a lot of question marks as to why we are continuing to restart tax cuts when we have a fiscal deficit that is this big,' Griffin said at the business magazine's annual Iconoclast summit in lower Manhattan Advertisement 4 Griffin warned that the Trump tax bill will only add to America's debt pile. REUTERS 'The United States' fiscal house is not in order,' Griffin added. 'You cannot run deficits of 6 or 7% at full employment after years of growth. That is just fiscally irresponsible.' Analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecasts that there is a $2.4 trillion black hole in the president's flagship tax bill. Griffin, who moved his firm from Chicago to Miami in 2022, likewise warned that the administration should rein in spending and that investors are already worried about America's finances — posing major risks in the bond markets. Advertisement 'US default prices are probably the same as Italy or Greece,' he said, referring to the so-called credit default swap markets where investors can bet on whether someone will fail to pay their bills. The GOP megadonor also took aim at Trump for criticizing Walmart CEO Doug McMillon after he warned of needing to raise prices in response to higher import costs. 'We should not criticize CEOs for being honest, right? And that's all the CEO of Walmart was doing,' he told the audience in lower Manhattan. 'Shame on the administration.' Advertisement The Post has approached the White House for comment. 4 Elon Musk, who has only recently left the Trump administration, has been repeatedly griping about the bill on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. REUTERS More broadly, Griffin lamented the 'uncertainty' that now clouds investment decisions in the US as a result of policies that have 'called into question American exceptionalism.' 'The administration's attempts to use tariffs come at a dear price for the US economy and come at a dear price for the US consumers, who will undoubtedly pay higher prices,' Griffin told the audience at the upmarket Cipriani ballroom on Broadway in lower Manhattan. Advertisement 'Why do we aspire to bring back to the United States jobs that are actually moving out of China into lower-cost jurisdictions? Why are we aspiring to be the nation of the lowest cost and the lowest-paid workforce in the world? That makes no sense to me.' 4 The tariff tiff blew up at the Beverly Hills Hilton where Trump's allies organized a rival VIP welcome party to go up against Griffin's traditional Milken opener. Bloomberg via Getty Images Griffin, who voted for Trump in November's presidential election, has been a staunch critic of his administration's tariff and trade policies since the real estate mogul's second inauguration earlier this year. The row between the two men spilled over at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills last month, where allies of President Trump organized a rival VIP welcome bash to go up against the Citadel supremo's traditional opening reception. Trump unveiled his tariff plans on April 2, which he dubbed Liberation Day, as he sought to renegotiate new trade deals with countries he believed were treating the United States unfairly. 4 Griffin used a Forbes summit to launch a string of broadsides at the Trump administration over its trade and tariff policies. AP The move has since faced a string of legal challenges, with negotiations failing to bear any fruit until now, apart from an agreement with post-Brexit Britain that was announced on May 8. But discussions with the European Union, one of America's largest trading partners, have faltered, as The Post exclusively reported on May 7.

Musk says Trump would have lost election without him
Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday said President Trump would have lost the 2024 presidential race if it were not for him, escalating a feud that erupted earlier that day between the two former allies. 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk said on X. 'Such ingratitude,' he added. Musk spent millions of dollars backing Trump's election in 2024 and appeared alongside the president on the campaign trail during its final weeks. He then led the Department of Government Efficiency with the goal of cost-cutting efforts and overhauling the federal government; his last day in the administration was on Friday. Musk's comments came amid an influx of posts on his social media platform X, in which he called for the Trump-backed 'big, beautiful bill' to be killed in Congress. The Tesla CEO, who was a near-constant presence at the side of the president until last week, continued to share old posts on X from Trump talking about the debt and the need for a balanced budget. The president had moments before said in the Oval Office that he was 'very surprised' and 'disappointed' by Musk's harsh criticism of the legislation and said he was uncertain about the future of their relationship. 'I've always liked Elon. And so I was very surprised. You saw the words he had for me, and he hasn't said anything about me that's bad. I'd rather have him criticize me than the bill. Because the bill is incredible,' Trump said during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more,' Trump added. Musk responded on X after Trump's remarks, repeating his assertion that a bill cannot be 'both big and beautiful.' Musk first railed against the 'big, beautiful bill' earlier this week, calling it 'an abomination' and 'pork-filled' due to its effects on federal deficits. 'In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people,' he wrote in a separate post, while sharing another that highlighted criticisms of Republican lawmakers.
