She kept asking the question no one else in the room would.
Jamie Latiano Jacobs is a speaker, entrepreneur, strategist and innovator who helps leaders rethink what is possible when they stop making decisions founded in assumptions of the past.
A former global executive, Jamie spent her career inside complex organizations leading through growth, transformation, M&A, culture and organizational change. That experience shaped a conviction that many of the constraints leaders accept—how work gets done, how talent is accessed, how organizations are structured and even what a career is supposed to look like—are choices, not inevitabilities.
She founded Gig Talent before fractional executives, executive entrepreneurship and flexible access to senior capability became mainstream. Today, Gig Talent is an Executive Talent Agency and Capability Studio that helps organizations assemble the right combination of leaders, experts and specialized capabilities around the outcomes they need to achieve—without being limited to traditional hiring or consulting models.
Jamie’s work explores the intersection of courage, leadership and the future of work: how leaders challenge inherited assumptions, imagine better possibilities and redesign the systems, organizations and careers that come next.
She is the author of Designing Exceptional Organizational Cultures and host of The Courageous Choice podcast.















Jamie speaks about moments when old assumptions or beliefs no longer serve—and the courage, curiosity, imagination and capability design thinking required to create what comes next.
