Gayle Fluster

Principal, Project Director

From the start of her career, Gayle has consistently shown herself a born leader and implementer, and her professional experience gives her a particular advantage in understanding and addressing a wide range of business challenges and opportunities. Attending the University of Chicago and the University of Texas at Austin as a business major, she began her professional life assisting the conference coordinator at UT, eventually creating the off-campus housing directory for Austin.

From 1986 until she began her market research career co-founding Infoco, Inc. in 1992, Gayle worked in a variety of capacities in the airline industry in reservations, call center operations, and operational analysis, eventually implementing a time-tracking system for union airport employees. Her roles with Infoco are the ones that ultimately manifested all her talents into one cohesive package for great success; that of strategizer and implementer. Gayle founded AlphaBuzz, Inc. in 2006 to leverage these successes in those areas to create simply the best independent qualitative recruiting firm in the country.
