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.
