Account Executive, Gridwise Analytics

Gridwise has set out to improve the way people and goods move. To do so, we started with empowering the workers who move us and our goods.  Overtime, we’ve continue to expand our capabilities to empower other key stakeholders who impact people and goods movement - cities, and enterprises.

We are a rapidly growing venture-backed company that have developed market-leading solutions built to enable gig workers, cities, and enterprises to leverage the most powerful gig mobility data insights in the industry.  We’ve raised over $20 million in venture capital financing from top-tier investors such as Crosslink Capital, Autotech Ventures, Techstars, Switch Ventures, Scribble Ventures, Mountain State Capital, 412 Venture Fund, and more.

The Gridwise app is the leading business platform for gig economy drivers, helping them maximize their earnings and track their business performance all in one place. Our app is currently supporting a growing driver network that represents 10% of all US gig drivers.

Growing to possess one of the largest gig-driver networks in the mobility industry has enabled Gridwise to standup a unique ad platform called Gridwise Ads, which focuses on promoting value-added services to gig drivers while helping brands reach a highly targeted and unique audience of interest.

Gridwise is on its way to becoming the de facto operating platform for gig drivers and offer solutions that empower the entire ecosystem with solutions built to improve the way people and goods move.
