S8 Bonus: From Uber Launcher and a $1B Unicorn Exit to 700K Front-Line Workers: Automating Workforce Orchestration with Jason Radisson of Movo
Oct 18, 2023 · Season 8 · 27 min
Enabling work forces to maximize productivity
Jason Radisson had a tough childhood, being born to a 16 year old single mom. He grew up on a rural place, and his journey required him to work jobs to get ahead and figure the world out at a young age. He was always interested in math and sports, which led him down the path to study economics and applied mathematics, eventually working for McKinsey. Today, he is married with small kids, and enjoys an active, outdoor life, specifically participating in distance sports (IE biking or running).
Through his career, Jason gained great experience in the gig economy, through his time at Uber and other ventures in Latin America. He saw many shifts run the market through his time, and throughout the pandemic, and he saw that people were looking to maximize the productivity of the workforce they currently had.
This is the creation story of Movo.
