Advisory

A strategy is only as good as the organization built to deliver it.

Former global Fortune 50 executive. Founder and CEO of Gig Talent. Over two decades leading people, culture and organizational strategy inside Fortune 50 enterprises and fast-growing startups — paired with a forward lens on how work is changing, what is now possible, and what it takes to activate teams and organizations to perform at their highest level.

Most strategies do not fail on the whiteboard. They fail in the organization asked to carry them. Jamie has built a firm that allows her to be your ongoing partner in moving your business forward.

Make Jamie your first call.

“We realized that being an outsider allowed Jamie to rethink things in ways that we were always blocked by having long-term insiders doing the work. Jamie showed bravery and courage to speak. She was fearless in saying what needed to be said—even if it wasn’t always flattering. So, there was an element of right, a truth-teller, a sense maker.”

Worth a conversation if
  • The strategy is clear, eighteen months have passed, and very little has actually moved.
  • You are being measured on enterprise value, and the people and systems work that moves it is not delivering at that level.
  • Growth or an acquisition is on the table and no one has assessed whether the organization can realize the assumed value creation and synergies.
  • You believe culture should be a competitive advantage and cannot yet point to where it is one.
  • Your transformation depends on the people function leading it, and today it is being handed the work rather than driving it.
  • The business has scaled and your leadership bench has not scaled with it.
  • You know the organization needs to work differently and you want an honest read on where to start.
Leveraged Expertise

Your partner to drive your business forward.

Jamie built Gig Talent to give companies faster access to better solutions, and to bring a standard of excellence to a growing class of executive talent. The hardest organizational problems rarely need one person for a long time. They need a small group of senior operators who have each solved a version of it before, assembled for the specific problem and gone when it is done. Partnering with Jamie opens access to that bench. She works as your advisor to diagnose what is actually needed, then pulls in the right senior capability for it — a breadth no single advisor can carry, drawn on as the need arises.

That is the collective — executive entrepreneurs who traded the org chart for portfolios of consequential work, and who bring judgement earned over decades rather than a methodology learned in training. Gig Talent orchestrates the right team to move your business forward.

Organizational Transformation
Rearchitect the work.

Building high performing organizations. We help companies change their culture, integrate after a merger, redesign how the organization is structured, and bring people along through it — so a new strategy actually changes how the work gets done.

Fractional, Interim & Executive Search
Cast the leadership.

Senior leaders when you need them. Fractional and interim CHROs and other executives who step in and deliver from day one, and Amplify Executive Search to find and place the permanent hire — with executive coaching to support that leader through the first year and beyond.

Organizational Effectiveness
Elevate the organization and its systems.

High performing teams and the cultures around them. Team alignment work, leadership development, culture and organizational design, succession planning, and honest assessments of how the organization really operates — not how the org chart says it should.

Coaching & Leadership Development
Sharpen the strategy and the leaders who deliver it.

Better leaders and a clearer plan. Executive and team coaching, strategic planning, leadership offsites and kickoffs, and facilitation that gets a group to real decisions and clear owners before everyone leaves the room.

People & Operational Excellence
Expert resources to drive execution.

Making sure the work actually gets done. Operational excellence and process improvement, program and project leadership, delivery support, and building the business acumen that keeps big initiatives moving long after the strategy is set.

Speakers
Command the room.

Voices for your stage, panel or leadership offsite. Jamie and members of the Gig Talent Collective bring keynotes, panel moderation, offsite facilitation and practical perspective on courage, leadership, culture, transformation and the future of work.
