Gary Bivings
CEO, FGB Consulting
“Over the years, we have worked with many web developers with a variety of disciplines. Some have been quite good but none match the combination of web design, clarity and efficacy of SEO strategy, speed, and price. One is usually delighted to get one or two of these benefits with a web partner, but with FGB Consulting, you truly are rewarded with all four.”
“Gary is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. No matter the request or the hour of day, he was never nonplussed. He explained technical issues in very understandable ways, trained the staff in the best ways to use the new platform, and even went beyond the scope of work to help mitigate a number of unexpected issues as they arose. We recommend Gary without reservation.”
Gary Bivings is a seasoned leader in digital strategy and technology innovation, with over 30 years of hands-on experience. His work spans early-stage platform development for startups to designing and executing a nationwide digital advocacy campaign that helped shift U.S. energy policy. Gary combines a deep understanding of web technologies with a sharp strategic sense, particularly in complex, multi-layered digital marketing and outreach efforts.
Earlier in his career, Gary founded and built a successful consulting practice from the ground up, growing it from a solo operation into a 30+ person digital firm based in Washington, DC. Under his leadership, the firm became a pioneer in web and social media strategy, delivering cutting-edge solutions for clients across the political, corporate, and philanthropic sectors.
Gary's initiatives included groundbreaking work in digital communications — from innovative website development and social media monitoring platforms to custom software solutions such as multilingual intranets, real-time voice-to-text translation, political finance tracking tools, and online learning systems. His approach blends strategic foresight with technical precision, making him a trusted partner for organizations navigating the digital landscape.
That precision now extends to AI-augmented development — Gary uses tools like Claude Code to build and ship custom work faster, while still reviewing and refining every line himself.
The firm's work garnered many awards, including the Webby Award on several occasions. Clients included candidates for state and national office — one of them for president — the Nasdaq Stock Market, T. Boone Pickens, Pew Charitable Trusts, Edison Electric Institute, Thomson Digital, and Monsanto, to name but a few.
Prior to entering the consulting world, Gary worked for the US government and the United Nations in refugee camps and famine relief programs in Africa and Asia, and he started his professional life as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Malaysia.
Gary has a B.Sc. in Physics and Math from the University of Arizona and an M.P.A. from the Harvard Kennedy School.
