Eddie Lou’s leadership as founder and CEO of Shiftgig has been instrumental in the firm’s successful transformation; today, Shiftgig enables a rapidly emerging type of work arrangement that allows pre-vetted, qualified workers to choose shifts, not jobs. In 2014, Lou and his team pivoted the business model from an online community to an on-demand mobile marketplace that could accommodate hourly workers’ needs while providing transparency and worker quantity and quality. As a result, Shiftgig has grown to 12 markets from two and headcount is approaching 200, up from 40 in 2014. Lou and Shiftgig’s other co-founders were also named finalists for Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Midwest in 2016. Since its inception, Lou has served as the company’s business strategist, team motivator and client and worker champion.
