Jalasoft’s CRO Celeste Anderson Featured as Guest Author in Industry Today on Section 174 and Global Talent

Jalasoft is pleased to announce that Celeste Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer, has been featured as a guest author in Industry Today. In her article, Section 174 Didn’t Close the Door on Global Talent, Anderson addresses the implications of U.S. tax law changes and affirms that, despite the amended Section 174, global and nearshore talent remain essential levers for innovation, scale, and strategic competitive advantage.

Key Highlights from the Article

• Section 174’s changes — While U.S.-based software engineering salaries regain full deductibility, nearshore and offshore talent salaries are still required to be amortized over 15 years.

• Talent scarcity as the real risk — Even with more favorable tax treatment for domestic engineers, Anderson argues that the shortage of skilled engineers in fields like AI, cloud, automation, and modern frameworks means companies cannot rely solely on local hiring.

• Why smarter global delivery wins — Companies that succeed will be those that build hybrid models: combining domestic leadership with nearshore/offshore teams for speed, cost efficiency, and cultural alignment. Jalasoft’s own model—built on education, continuity, social impact, and purpose—is cited as a case in point.
