Biographies of the Panelists

Gene Zaino

Gene Zaino acquired MyBizOffice in 1996 as a building block towards his vision of a business that would re-invent the way consultants and organizations work together. Early on, he recognized the accelerated growth trends of knowledge workers, consultants, and freelancers, as well as the increased demand by organizations to deploy a contingent, flexible workforce.

Under Mr. Zaino's direction, MyBizOffice brought its consultant-specific services online, formed a co-branding partnership with Monster.com, and, in 2001, launched the business-to-business Consultant Service Center offering. By spearheading the evolution of the innovative MyBizOffice employment model, Mr. Zaino has become a major force in legitimizing and advocating the trend toward workplace independence.

Mr. Zaino began his career at KPMG Peat Marwick where he spent four years as a CPA and management consultant before he was a founding principal of Evernet Systems, a Kliener Perkins-sponsored venture that was sold in 1993. Mr. Zaino has discussed the CR approach in several recent television and radio interviews, including CNNfn, USA Today, CNET, The Jim Bohannon Show, TechTV, Washington DC's NewsChannel 8, and WBIS Radio. He has also been quoted in several publications including the Washington Business Journal, Internet Week, and the Potomac Tech Journal. Mr. Zaino graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, receiving a Bachelor and Masters of Science in Economics (MSE).
