Carlos Armengol Villalba and Miguel Arteaga Peters bring complementary strengths and a shared commitment to accelerating Job&Talent’s US growth, operational excellence, and expanding its workforce management platform through AI technology and innovation.

Known for his analytical depth and ability to lead through change, Carlos is a proven operator with a strong track record of managing complexity and scaling hyper-growth businesses.

Miguel Arteaga Peters also brings over a decade of experience in operations, strategy, and organizational leadership.

Prior to Job&Talent, Miguel served as Chief Operating Officer at CoverWallet, where he drove transformational change and strategic scaling. He began his career at GE and later worked at McKinsey & Company advising global clients on strategy and performance improvement. Miguel is recognized for his ability to combine strategic vision with executional rigor and for building high-performing teams in dynamic environments.
