Sr. Director of Operations

GT Independence is a pioneering financial management service (FMS) company dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities and long-term care needs to live independently. Founded in 2004 by the Carmichael family, the company emerged from a personal quest to answer why individuals could not choose their caregivers and determine the nature of their own care environment. This mission is encapsulated in their motto, helping clients to live the life they choose, regardless of age or ability.

As a disability-led organization, GT Independence's values focus on self-determination, integrity, community, professionalism, and respect. They operate with the belief that everyone should have the freedom to direct their care, and their services reflect this commitment through user-friendly platforms like the GT App and GT Portal, which facilitate hiring, managing caregivers, and navigating care logistics. Over the years, GT Independence has expanded its reach to serve over 50,000 clients across various states, advocating for inclusivity and accessibility in the care process.
