Why hire me in a fractional role
Companies bring me in when they cannot afford slow onboarding or trial and error. I bring founder-level ownership with the ability to understand the tech, the users, and the business constraints simultaneously. I am able to parachute into a failing workflow, like a customer losing calls, and guide the team through diagnosis, architecture changes, and long-term fixes. The result is stability now and a clearer technical roadmap going forward

  • Success story

    One of our enterprise clients was suddenly losing large portions of their inbound calls. They assumed it was a telecom issue, but after digging into logs, queue behavior, and their support workflow, I realized the real problem was a bottleneck in their internal processing pipeline. I flew onsite, mapped their entire workflow, and rewrote the job orchestration in a way that synchronized our system with theirs. It immediately stopped the call losses and restored trust with a major customer

Dear Employers, Members & Friends of GigX

 

First, we hope you and yours are as safe and well as possible, considering these unprecedented times.

Second, we wanted to make you aware of the new membership & pricing options so you can see what we've been working on for the community. You can find further information on our blog, as well as a variety of other helpful content.

Third, for employers and outplacement companies that are facing the necessity and consequences of layoffs and furloughs, we have solutions such as volume pricing to allow the inclusion of a GigX Membership in transition/service packages to ease the adjustment and provide access to the gig economy for those affected.

Finally, we are pleased to announce a new partnership with SoleVenture that will provide GigX Members with additional benefits, and opportunities for SoleVenture’s customers to increase their exposure.

Together we will persevere.

Stay strong!
The GigX Team
