Ep. 108: Sundar Swaminathan, Fractional Growth Executive

Leaders, Sundar represents the fastest growing segment of the freelance economy...mid level top performers with impressive logos choosing to freelance or build for the freelance economy rather than continue as a Director or above role.

Prior we had Angie Moody who was a top performer at Microsoft, Visa, and Instagram. Then Ernie Park, a top performer at Hubspot. Now Sundar, a Carnegie Mellon grad and top performer at Uber and ready for it...a debt manager at the US Treasury.

A couple of things that really hit me:

• Sundar views freelancing as the path to best support his family rather than the typical "I need the safety of a job."
• Sundar works with post PMF B2C Marketplaces helping Series A-C make more profitable decisions through analytics and experimentation.
• Sundar chooses to freelance for the autonomy, flexibility, and impact he can make.
• Sundar views the freelance journey as... year 1 = existing network, year 2 = referrals, year 3+ = have to turn away business.




Enjoy!
