[Coinbase CEO: The company adopts a remote-first model while opening a new office hub in New York to enhance in-person collaboration] Golden Finance reports that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated, 'The remote-first work model is one of the key factors for our success, as it allows us to attract and collaborate with top talent from around the world. Honestly, long commutes are not only frustrating but also impact work efficiency. However, 'remote-first' does not equate to 'remote-only.' Regular in-person gatherings remain crucial (we schedule at least one week per quarter). Additionally, many employees prefer coming into the office daily. For this reason, we continue to establish high-quality 'office hubs' in major cities—serving both as venues for team in-person meetings and as spaces for employees who prefer working on-site. The atmosphere of in-person work is truly fantastic.'
