The Appointments
Cary Daniel, Chief Growth Officer

James Windmiller, Chief Operating Officer

James has spent his career engineering the systems, processes, and performance frameworks that allow staffing organizations to scale without sacrificing delivery quality.
Jason Goertzen, Chief Financial Officer
Jason Goertzen joins Talvera as Chief Financial Officer, bringing deep financial leadership experience from his prior role as CFO of Nextaff. Jason has a strong track record managing the financial architecture of multi-unit, multi-brand staffing organizations, including financial reporting, forecasting, unit economics, and capital strategy in environments where growth and operational discipline must advance in parallel.
Linda Lutton, Vice President of Strategic Operations
Linda Lutton joins Talvera as Vice President of Strategic Operations, drawing on a distinguished career in workforce program management including her role as Vice President of Strategic Healthcare Operations within the Nextaff system. Linda brings specialized expertise in healthcare staffing programs, enterprise account management, and the design of scalable delivery frameworks that serve complex, multi-site client organizations.
A Leadership Team Built Around the Predictive Hiring System™
Each of these leaders joins with direct experience supporting the Predictive Hiring System™, the proprietary methodology that sits at the center of every Talvera delivery brand. The system is built around four sequential pillars:
Define. Every client engagement begins with the development of a custom FQ Score™ (Fit Quotient Score), a data-informed profile unique to each company that replaces broad intake conversations with precision. Rather than guesswork, Talvera maps exactly what a fit match looks like for that organization.
Source. With the FQ Score™ established, Talvera's delivery teams tap all available candidate resources, including an Ambassador Network™ of more than 6,000 referral partners. The sourcing strategy is designed to surface both active and passive candidates across every relevant channel, giving enterprise clients a broader, more qualified talent pool.
Assess. Every candidate is screened through the Predictive Hiring System™ to the specific parameters of each client engagement. This single, consistent assessment standard replaces the fragmented, vendor-by-vendor screening variability that drives inconsistent quality across multi-location enterprise programs.
Measure. Placements are tracked, reviewed, and measured on a 90-day cycle. This performance accountability loop ensures that outcomes are visible, reported, and continuously improved rather than lost in the absence of structured follow-through. It is what separates a transactional staffing engagement from a workforce partnership.
This four-pillar system is the operational DNA of every brand Powered by Talvera. The executive leadership team now in place has been built specifically to advance, scale, and protect the integrity of that system across an expanding platform.
Leadership Perspectives
"Building a leadership team with this much direct staffing experience behind it was a deliberate priority from the beginning. Every person we appointed has lived the operational realities of this industry at a senior level. They understand the Predictive Hiring System™ because they've worked within the delivery brands that run it. That combination of platform vision and hands-on execution experience is exactly what Talvera needs to grow with the accountability our clients expect." -Adam Forbes, CEO, Talvera
