Liam strongly believes that the future of work is remote. Through his work in the past decade and more, he has developed a reputation as a highly influential and supportive advocate of the adoption of remote-first management and cultures in organizations around the world. 

Guided by an overarching mission to empower both employers and  employees to benefit from more collaborative, productive and effective asynchronous work environments, Liam launched time tracking and employee productivity SaaS platform Time Doctor in 2011 with co-founder Rob Rawson.  

A prolific and self-assured writer and speaker, Liam is genuinely committed  to helping others overcome conventional business wisdom to increase their  agility and competitiveness. Since 2017, he has been the co-organizer of the  world’s largest conference for building and scaling remote teams, Running  Remote. He has openly shared his expertise on the benefits and challenges  of flexible, asynchronous and data-driven workforce management in articles  for reputable publications like Forbes, Inc, TechCrunch, and Wired. 

Together with Rob, Liam co-authored Running Remote book in 2022—a guide to seamless remote work adoption which became a WallStreet Journal Bestseller selling thousands of copies to date. The book is based on real lessons and strategies gleaned from interviews with pioneering founders that have successfully harnessed asynchronous operations.

As Time Doctor’s Chief Innovation Officer, Liam leads product development by: talking directly to customers; using empathy and experimentation to drive product innovation; and staying abreast of the technologies, talent trends and data insights that are proven to fuel the performance and growth of enterprises. He also fosters the application of asynchronous practices and systems across Time Doctor’s own global, distributed team and takes his own advice: traveling 3-6 months out of the year while working remotely.

Liam’s journey to become a tech entrepreneur took some unexpected turns. After being forced to retire from elite sports at an early age due to injury, he drew on his disciplined mindset to pursue an academic career in sociology, before making a momentous pivot to launch his own online tutoring business. That led to him being sought out as a consultant on building remote teams.

Liam then met Rob—who had a concept for a tool to measure productivity— and the two passionate entrepreneurs combined forces and have continued to both grow the impact of Time Doctor, and actively model and champion the value of remote work.
