Welcome, I’m delighted you’re here!
I’m Kieran Scally-Carde and I am passionate about helping organizations to stop wasting money on contingent labor - without reducing headcount - by showing them where the real opportunities lie.
With 25 years in the Contingent Workforce industry on both ‘Buy’ and ‘Sell’ sides, including leading in-house PMOs at Accenture, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup (each managing over 120,000 resources globally), I’ve seen it all — the inefficiencies, the over complication, and the goldmines hidden in plain sight. Today, I work with HR and Procurement leaders to bring clarity, strategy, and savings to their Contingent Workforce programs.
My sweet spot? Simplifying the complex. Whether it's cost optimization, supplier management, compliance, or DE&I, I strip out the jargon and focus on what works in the real world. The stuff that makes a CFO nod, a CHRO lean in, and a Procurement lead breathe easier.
I'm especially passionate about:
✅ Making contingent labor strategies work for people, not just process.
✅ Helping teams drive measurable cost savings without compromising quality.
✅ Elevating DE&I in Contingent Workforce and how it unlocks serious value.
✅ Using my knowledge and expertise to help those with less experience excel.
People, Places, Projects — I believe these are the pillars shaping the future of work. And if we get them right, the workforce of tomorrow doesn’t just work… it thrives.
If you’re a senior leader tasked with managing contingent labor and tired of cookie-cutter solutions, I’m here to help you solve.
