Chris also served as Senior Vice President at Volt’s Strategic Solutions Group, where she led a national team of sales leaders focused on revenue growth and improving customer relationships.”

The company’s innovative approach to staffing solutions and commitment to technology-driven growth are a perfect fit with my career goals. I look forward to leveraging my experience to contribute to Job&Talent’s mission to transform the staffing industry and drive national revenue expansion.”

The Swedish investment company Kinnevik recently reduced its valuation of Job&Talent, in which it holds a 5 percent stake, by more than a quarter.
