Anyone managing international IT teams

Hi, I am wondering if anyone here is or was managing international/intercontinental IT teams?

I am curious as of what are the differences between EMEA, APAC, and the USA.

I guess that budgets in USA and EMEA are similar, a bit lower in APAC depending on location, but the money is often spent differently based on prioritization.

In Europe, IT tends to stick longer to traditional technology instead of giving the latest tech a chance, while in the USA most IT organizations are more willing to take a risk and learn from whatever the outcome is - SDx as an example.

IT teams in APAC seems to be staffed higher compared to the other regions, and they seem to be well educated, but show the lowest acceptance of any "trial and error."

Different laws and regulations for employee privacy could be another huge challenge.

What are your experiences, if you mind sharing?
