Why Leading Organizations Choose GigCXTalent

GigCXTalent was founded by Daniel Akre with a bold vision: improve the human condition while transforming how customer experience work gets done globally.

After nearly three decades in technology, customer experience, BPO, and distributed workforce models, one reality became impossible to ignore: the traditional workforce model was broken.

Enterprises were trapped in rigid, expensive legacy operating models built for business thrty years ago and that couldn’t scale with modern demand. AI strategies have over-rotated toward automation and transactional while neglecting the human relational experience. And millions of highly skilled people around the world remained locked out of meaningful economic opportunity.

The insight was simple, but powerful: the problem wasn’t execution. The problem was the workforce model itself and how it’s orchestrated.

GigCXTalent was built to solve this.

Today, we help enterprises make smarter, faster, and more informed CX workforce decisions in a world being reshaped by AI and global talent. As legacy outsourcing models struggle to keep pace, GigCXTalent provides a modern alternative that has been valifdated and verified, connecting organizations to distributed, on-demand human expertise augmented by AI to accelerate experiences and drive loyalty.

At the center of this transformation is our GigCXTalent Validation Index (GVI)™ Assessment, a proprietary framework designed to bring clarity, transparency, and confidence to CX procurement. Through the GVI™, organizations can identify and validate best-fit GigCX, AI, BPO, and workforce partners with greater speed, lower risk, and measurable improvements across cost, quality, scalability, and flexibility.

But GigCXTalent is about more than operational efficiency.

We are helping unlock meaningful work for people from all walks of life — including individuals traditionally overlooked by conventional employment models. Across 72+ languages and 23 industries, we enable enterprises to access world-class talent while creating economic mobility and opportunity at global scale.

This is the future of work:
Human + AI, intelligently orchestrated.

We’re not just redefining customer experience.
We’re redefining how the world works.

Daniel Akre

CEO/Founder

Daniel Akre is the founder of GigCXTalent and a long-standing operator in the global Customer Experience industry, with over 25 years of experience spanning CCaaS, SaaS, BPO, AI and distributed workforce models. His career has been shaped by working inside and alongside some of the most recognized organizations in the world developing a practical, ground-level understanding of how CX is delivered, scaled, and often where it breaks. His leadership roles within organizations such as ADP, Dun & Bradstreet, Bank of America, Tokai Financial, Alorica, Teleperformance, LiveXchange, and Omni Interactions have generated over $1bil in revenue, and has supported enterprise brands including General Electric, FTD, UnitedHealthcare, Verizon, T-Mobile, College Board, Riot Games, and Time Warner where he has helped organizations navigate complexity across workforce strategy, global delivery, and technology adoption. Dan realized a consistent pattern emerged: while the CX workforce model was evolving rapidly across GigCX, traditional BPO, AI, and staffing, the way organizations evaluated and sourced these capabilities remained fragmented, opaque, and inconsistent. Daniel created GigCXTalent as a direct response to that gap. Daniel’s work today focuses on bringing structure and clarity to how organizations engage global workforce capacity, introducing a more rigorous, validated and verifiable approach to sourcing across the four pillars. His perspective is grounded not in theory, but in decades of operating experience across both enterprise environments and provider ecosystems. At the core of his work is a broader belief: that access to meaningful work should be more widely available uniquely fitted as a compliment to emerging AI trends. As workforce models become more distributed and technology-enabled, he sees an opportunity to expand access for people regardless of geography or circumstance, aligning business performance with a friendly Human + AI centered future of work. Daniel is also author of the book, The GigCX Manifesto, Human + AI = The Competitive Advantage (Elastic Talent: The Infrastructure Powering Modern Customer Experience)
