Background

About Spencer Chee

I lead the Gig vertical at First Advantage, shaping go-to-market strategy, revenue growth, and cross-functional execution across Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering. I partner closely with executive leadership to scale screening, identity, and compliance infrastructure for gig and marketplace platforms operating in complex regulatory environments.With 8+ years in Trust & Safety and platform risk, my career has centered on building systems that protect users while enabling sustainable business growth. I’ve helped high-growth companies define risk tolerance frameworks, design scalable enforcement models, and operationalize safety programs that align with product and commercial strategy.My background spans vertical leadership, trust & safety operations, product collaboration, and vendor strategy. I’ve led large-scale negotiations, launched data-driven enforcement and incident management programs, and built law enforcement engagement models — all while navigating ambiguity in fast-moving environments.I bring a systems-level perspective to evolving risk landscapes, combining executive strategy with analytical rigor. I’m particularly focused on leveraging AI and LLM-driven workflows to responsibly scale trust infrastructure without sacrificing ethics, compliance, or user experience.At my core, I believe trust is a growth lever — not just a control function. The most successful gig platforms integrate safety, compliance, and commercial strategy into one cohesive operating model.Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking, golfing, or spending time with my golden lab or two cats.I’m always open to conversations around gig economy strategy, trust infrastructure, and scaling marketplace platforms.
