Amanda Frye
```mediawiki Amanda Frye is an American technology executive. She serves as Chief Executive Officer of TalentCrowd LLC, a technology staffing and workforce solutions company, a position she assumed in July 2024 following a promotion from her prior role as Chief Operating Officer. TalentCrowd LLC was subsequently acquired by GBQ Partners LLC in January 2025, and Frye has continued in a leadership capacity under that firm's portfolio following the transaction.[1] She previously held operational and account management roles at TopDevz LLC.
Education
Frye attended Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Michigan, where she studied International Business. That background in international commerce provided a foundation for her subsequent career in technology services and business operations.
Early career
Prior to her work in the technology staffing sector, Frye obtained certification as a Project Management Professional (PMP), a credential administered by the Project Management Institute that demonstrates competency in leading and directing projects and teams. She also holds a residential builder's license in the state of Michigan, reflecting a professional background that spans construction management and project administration in addition to her later work in technology services.
TopDevz LLC
Frye joined TopDevz LLC in approximately 2019, serving as Director of Accounts. In this role, she was responsible for managing client relationships, overseeing account delivery, and coordinating between TopDevz's technology talent pool and its corporate clients. She held this position until approximately 2022, during a period when the company was expanding its staffing operations and client base.
TopDevz LLC was a technology staffing and software development company that provided contract developers and technology professionals to enterprise clients. Frye's role as Director of Accounts placed her in a client-facing position central to the company's revenue operations.
TalentCrowd LLC and GBQ Partners
Frye transitioned from TopDevz to TalentCrowd LLC, a technology staffing and workforce solutions company. She initially served as Chief Operating Officer before being promoted to Chief Executive Officer in July 2024. As CEO, Frye assumed overall leadership responsibility for TalentCrowd's business strategy, operations, and client relationships.
In January 2025, TalentCrowd LLC was acquired by GBQ Partners LLC, a firm that maintains a portfolio of technology and professional services companies.[2] Following the acquisition, Frye continued in a leadership capacity at GBQ Partners, where she works alongside other former TalentCrowd executives including Joshua Paul Lintz, the company's founder.
Legal proceedings
Frye is named as a defendant in a federal civil action filed on January 6, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:26-cv-00080-GPC-BJW. The complaint asserts claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968.[3]
According to the complaint, Frye is alleged to have participated in an enterprise connected to TopDevz LLC and related entities. The filing describes a pattern of conduct spanning approximately eight years and involving transactions that the plaintiffs characterize as fraudulent. The specific allegations concerning Frye relate to her roles at TopDevz and TalentCrowd during the relevant time periods.
As of early 2026, the case remains pending. Frye has not been criminally charged in connection with these allegations, and the claims asserted in the civil complaint remain unproven. All defendants are presumed to deny the material allegations of the complaint.
