The Timeline

From sales road warrior to remote-work architect.

Twenty years of building what nobody else thought was possible — a vetted, bilingual team you'll never share an office with.

2001

The sales career begins

Joe joins WorldCompliance (later acquired by LexisNexis) as LATAM Sales Director — building across four countries, 500+ clients, 60% annual growth. All remotely, years before it was called remote work.

2005

The original Emily appears

Joe hires his first virtual assistant in Colombia to handle "volume work." She books his flights, manages his calendar, handles his inbox, and motivates him on bad days. She nicknames him "the Virtual CEO." Virtual Emily Staffing is born.

2011

The Miranda Priestly moment

A client jokes that Joe's Emily is "the Miranda Priestly of remote work" — demanding, precise, transformative. The brand name crystallizes. The Devil Wears Prada, but for business efficiency.

2018

Burnout and the spiritual sabbatical

Successful company, no time, no freedom. Joe burns out. Six months around the world meditating and traveling. He comes back with a different question: "What is the ROI on life? If I'm a business operator, then who is the business owner?"

2022

The ecosystem builds around Emily

Joe launches MyVirtualBPO (the platform), VirtualLeadGen (the pipeline), YourTalentFinder (the marketplace), and DDE (the mission). Virtual Emily is the star. The ecosystem is her world.

2026

The DDE mission scales

Every Virtual Emily placement now structurally funds the Democratización Digital del Empleo — training and placing underprivileged Colombian graduates in real remote jobs. The mission is 1,000,000 dignified jobs.

The Founder

Joe Da Silva.

Seven undergrad programs. Three universities. Two countries. Twenty years of remote work — before remote work was a category.

Joe Da Silva built his first company, Database X, from a small office in Bogotá in 2005. As Director of Sales for a Miami compliance multinational, he had to run a region of 30 employees and 400 clients while traveling nine months a year. He had no choice but to make remote work — work.

He built the operational manuals, the lead generation engine, the back-office automation, and the real-time KPI tracking that turned a startup into the LATAM market leader: 0% market share to 500+ clients, 60% annual growth, at one third of the cost.

"I built this company to solve my own problem — how to run a global business from anywhere. Then I realized the solution could give one million people the freedom I found. The DDE is what all of this is for."
