When you ask Stephanie Argentine, BA ′89, JD
′93, MBA ′00, what her job title is, it's complicated.
That's because aer a 25-year career in law,
academia and corporate HR, she made the leap into
self-employment five years ago.
Today, she works for herself as the founder of
solve& consulting, but she's also an adjunct instruc-
tor of organization and human resources in the
School of Management and an executive in resi-
dence for the school's Center for Leadership and
Organizational Effectiveness.
Why make the switch out of a traditional 9-to-5
job? Argentine says she was motivated by a desire
for flexibility and to be selective about the work
she does.

The gig economy goes mainstream
" Gig work has given me a greater
work-life balance and the ability
to control my time. I get to pick
and choose the work that aligns
with my strengths."
