The New Gig

I speak with Karen V. Ordones - CEO of Tutor.ID - about her background and career so far, the specific considerations for the teaching/tutoring and education sectors as well as the development of the platform economy as a whole.

I speak with Olof Norlander - CEO of Workamo - about his career so far, the growth of the self-employment sector and what the future holds as freelancing accelerates.

I speak with Fredrik Minding - CEO of BraByggare - about how the building sector is using the Platform Economy, and the specific considerations for this sector. We also discuss the biggest challenges facing the Platform Economy today and how this is quickly becoming part of the regular economy.

I speak with Katharina Wagner - CEO of Parkamo, the world’s first green parking app - about how technology is revolutionising parking. This includes providing price comparison, openness of data and increased efficiency. People will no longer waste valuable time - and harm the environment - cruising for parking spaces. We also discuss the challenges facing the Sharing Economy more broadly.

I speak with Naozad Hodiwala - country coordinator for India at ICMPD - about the EU-India Summit (which is being held today in Porto), the importance of migration and mobility for both partners, and how technology can raise economic growth, facilitate migration and increase opportunities for Indians and Europeans.

I speak with Claes - who is the CEO of Gigger Group and Founder of Gee - about his experiences starting these companies, the biggest challenges facing the platform economy and what politicians and public authorities need to do in order to harness the power of the Platform Economy.

I speak with Anna - who runs the biggest freelance blog in Sweden - about how the Platform Economy is unchaining technology talent; the  practical dos and don'ts of freelancing and what the future will bring.

I speak with Samuel about the growth of Wolt, the concept of "instant delivery" and the evolution of the Platform Economy.

Wolt is a Finnish technology company that operates a restaurant food, grocery, and retail intermediation and delivery marketplace. Their headquarters are in Helsinki and Wolt currently operate in 23 countries and over 160 cities, serving goods from over 35,000 merchants with over 75,000 courier partners to more than 10 million customers. 

"The New Gig" is a podcast on - and for - the dynamic workforce of today.

Every week I will be in conversation with CEOs, thought-leaders, practitioners and academics as we discuss the Platform Economy, Migration and the Future of Work.
