Gwen Zalk Martin’s Summary
In her position as co-founder of NumberWorks, SALO’s new company focused on placing finance and accounting professionals in contract roles, Gwen Martin brings together her diverse experiences over 19 years in the placement industry.
Gwen began her career in recruiting after graduating from the University of St. Thomas in 1987. She joined a locally based, national placement agency in 1990 and was an integral part of building a highly successful accounting and finance division over the course of 10 years. Taking her experience to the corporate side, she then helped a Fortune 100 retailer develop the organizational structure of their newly launched e-commerce division and established two new businesses prior to joining SALO in 2003.
Since joining SALO, Gwen has been a key player in growing SALO as a powerful brand in the senior-level financial consulting niche. After clients and consultants consistently requested that SALO broaden its services to staff-level positions, Gwen teamed with SALO co-founders John Folkestad and Amy Langer to create NumberWorks in 2007.
“There is a great demand out there for sharp talent and a field of bland competitors,” says Gwen. “We’re rolling out NumberWorks because our clients are continually asking us to provide services at this level — they’re looking for the same high-touch SALO relationship, but at staff levels. Having the opportunity to build this business as a hybrid of best practices from our previous experiences is really fun.”
Gwen thrives on the front lines of the highly competitive placement industry. In her new role she will develop and build business and client relationships, bring in talented professionals, and create the NumberWorks brand.
