Openforce is experiencing unprecedented growth empowering ICs and facilitating their clients’ success in the gig economy, transportation, healthcare, and other industries that use IC workforces. In delivery industries, the company is responding to the market needs of the driver shortage and supply chain crisis exacerbated over the past two years by the pandemic with innovative solutions solving challenges to recruit and vet more drivers while helping them gain the insurances they want at the prices they need.
“I’m incredibly excited to join Openforce and to help lead this pioneering company into its next growth phase,” said Ms. Putnam. “The way we live and work has fundamentally shifted over the past few years and I’ve been impressed with how Openforce has responded, giving their clients and their independent contractors the technology tools they need to adapt, scale, and grow. I look forward to leveraging my experience in the trucking industry to drive demand for Openforce’s technology within that space, while also zeroing in on the opportunities the burgeoning gig economy presents.”
