S10E12: Workforce Reimagined: Unlocking the Power of Blended Teams

Guest: Brea Starmer

Founder & CEO, Lions & Tigers

When Brea Starmer was laid off during her pregnancy, she resolved to find a solution to the all-or-nothing career model – for herself and others like her. She set out to create a new set of conditions in which individuals could thrive on their terms and alongside a community.

In 2018, she founded Lions & Tigers, a company that enables enterprises and public sector organizations to tap into the nearly 50% of highly-skilled professionals choosing independent work. L&T builds blended workforces that integrate fractional and freelance experts with client teams, helping leaders scale with agility, access top-tier talent, and achieve their goals.

Under Brea's leadership, L&T has created $34M+ in economic opportunity for 250+ consultants, with a team comprising 87% women and 33% People of the Global Majority.
