Juan Urdiales, Co-founder & CEO of Job&Talent, said:
“We have reshaped our board to match Job&Talent’s next stage of growth, bringing in highly experienced leaders with a proven track record at scale. Importantly, three of our members are now based in the U.S.—Bruce Felt, Jim Grube, and John Doyle—reflecting the strategic importance of a market that has recently become our largest.”
Linda Höglund, CFO of Job&Talent, added:
“Building on the strong foundation already in place, we have further enhanced our board with world-class expertise in financial and governance matters—spanning both Europe and the U.S. This positions us exceptionally well to scale our platform and succeed in critical markets.”
Positioned to scale the frontline
With a refined governance model, strong investor backing, and continued progress in technology and AI, Job&Talent is better equipped than ever to transform the global frontline workforce. The AI-powered platform manages the full workforce lifecycle across logistics, retail, manufacturing, and e-commerce—bringing end-to-end automation and advanced AI agents to sectors long underserved by digital innovation. Of the world’s 2.7 billion deskless workers (70–80% of the global workforce according to BCG) many still lack the tools to boost productivity and job satisfaction. Job&Talent is closing that gap, redefining how companies run and how frontline workers access meaningful, flexible employment at scale.
