Job&Talent, a world-leading AI-powered workforce management platform, has announced a newly constituted Board of Directors to steer its next phase of AI-driven expansion. This refreshed board integrates world-class expertise in technology, finance, and global operations, building on the momentum from its successful Series F funding round earlier in 2025.
The reconstituted Board of Directors merges deep financial insight with technological innovation and operational expertise at scale. Newly appointed members Bruce Felt and Javier Torremocha join continuing members Jim Grube, Natalie Tydeman, Guillaume Santamaria, and Juan Urdiales. The board is bolstered by a robust group of observers, including Felipe Navío, John Doyle, Edouard Brunet, and Nenad Marovac. This composition equips Job&Talent to execute its mission and drive AI-led growth in essential industries.
Bruce Felt, CFO at Flex (NASDAQ: FLEX), brings extensive experience having led three companies through IPOs: Domo, SuccessFactors (acquired by SAP), and FullTime Software (acquired by Legato Systems). He serves on the boards of Veradigm, Betterworks, Cambium Networks (NASDAQ: CMBM), and Human Interest.
Jim Grube, Independent Board Member and Audit Committee Chair at Job&Talent, is a Board Member at GameStop and former senior executive at Amazon, Chewy, Hilton, and Vacasa.
Natalie Tydeman, Managing Investment Director at Kinnevik AB, serves as Board Member at Betterment and Viaplay.

Observers include Felipe Navío (Co-founder & Co-CEO Job&Talent), John Doyle (Managing Director BlackRock), Edouard Brunet (Partner & CFO Quadrille Capital), and Nenad Marovac (Founder & Managing Partner DN Capital).
The board's evolution underscores Job&Talent's commitment to its growth trajectory. “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,” said Juan Urdiales, Co-founder & CEO of Job&Talent.
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.”
With enhanced governance, robust investor support, and advancements in AI technology, Job&Talent is primed to revolutionize the global frontline workforce. The AI-powered platform manages the complete workforce lifecycle in logistics, retail, manufacturing, and e-commerce, introducing end-to-end automation and advanced AI agents to sectors historically underserved by digital tools. Of the world's 2.7 billion deskless workers, who represent 70–80% of the global workforce according to BCG, many still lack productivity-enhancing tools and pathways to flexible employment. Job&Talent addresses this gap, transforming how companies operate and how frontline workers access meaningful opportunities at scale.
Job&Talent's Series F round, which raised EUR 92 million and valued the company at EUR 1.3 billion, included key investors like Atomico, BlackRock, DN Capital, Hercules, InfraVia, Kibo, and Kinnevik. This funding accelerates international expansion and AI innovations, including specialized AI agents trained on extensive operational data to optimize workforce management.
The new Board of Directors fortifies Job&Talent's foundation for sustained innovation and market leadership. By leveraging AI to enhance fulfillment, attendance, retention, and workforce quality, the platform empowers essential industries and deskless workers worldwide, fostering productivity and job satisfaction in an evolving labor landscape.
