Profile bio
About Gary Frey
Before MacGyver came on the scene, I’d completed my first turnaround at 28. I got the “MacGyver” nickname for my first “help us fix this acquisition” assignment within a Fortune 100 company. 👉Do you need someone “outside the jar to help you read the label” and help you simplify the complex?👉Do you want to save money, make money, stay out of trouble, and have fun?👉Do you want to silence the internal voice of imposter syndrome that says you’re not good enough? You might need a MacGyver like me to help. As a college dropout, every job I had was “Master’s preferred. Bachelor’s required,” so I couldn’t rest on my credentials or pedigree (or lack thereof). I had to hustle, think creatively, and forge bullet-proof collaborations. My Anything but Typical career highlights: 1. Credited by Yokohama’s CEO for advancing market share & profitability via brand clarity2. Served as President of four companies, including transforming a fledgling web portal from 3 employees into a $100M company (Bizjournals.com)3. Named among Forbes Magazine’s “Best of the Web” at Bizjournals.com4. Pioneered Bank of America’s first coordinated, segment-specific business marketing approach5. Co-founded the Anything but Typical podcast in 20196. Speaker and author of “Silence the Imposter: 7 Weapons to Silence Imposter” syndrome7. Coach and confidant to CEOs from small, privately held companies to international behemoths
Listed skills include Strategy, Brand Development, Business Development, Customer Experience, and 46 others.
