Peyton Brooks, VP of Workforce Development

Peyton Brooks

VP, Workforce Development

As a firm believer in continuous development and self-improvement, I attained a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Howard University and a Juris Doctor Degree from The George Washington University Law School.

 

My passion for service to the community drove me towards the workforce development industry, where I have been in active pursuit to change the trajectory of lives and shape communities ever since. With nearly a decade of experience doing so, I have helped thousands of individuals obtain access to more short-term, affordable, and convenient upskill and reskill opportunities across the nation.

 

Given my vast industry expertise, I provide management consulting services to workforce
development organizations helping them with customized solutions, specialized curricula, strategic partnerships, and employer engagement. My consulting leverages deep technical knowledge as well as strategic and tactical approaches to provide the best solutions with data-driven outcomes. 

 

My proven experience in building workforce development systems have led me to develop and evangelize best practices for workforce development programs that include the following outcome-based attributes:

– Livable wages and sustainable careers in high-demand industry sectors
– Job placement-focused programs with strong employer partnerships
– Data-driven understanding of regional skills gaps; and
– Comprehensive skills training that includes practical application work experience with career coaching.

 

My ability to thrive in the workforce development industry is attributed to my strong interpersonal skills, which have enhanced my capabilities to understand what people truly mean to communicate when attempting to express their business challenges. This trait has set me apart from the rest, as I can identify and resolve the root cause of challenges resulting in proper alignment of investment to desired business outcomes.

 

Therefore, as a leader of cooperative outcome-focused efforts, I would like to connect with
professionals who are interested in collaborating to improve communities and change the trajectory of lives through sustainable career attainment.

Abigail Jpones

Abigail Jones

Chief Strategy & Operations Officer

I focus on developing the workforce and creating pipelines of talent that align with where the economy is heading. My career spans global markets across the Middle East, Australia, the UK, and the US, where I have led operations, managed high-profile client relationships, and driven strategic growth across industries including luxury brands, corporate markets, technology, and workforce development.

At XA Talent, I focus on strategy and operations, guiding the company’s direction in workforce development and employer partnerships. We design hire-train-deploy models and talent development initiatives that build sustainable pipelines aligned with employer demand. I work closely with state workforce boards, federal programs, and industry leaders to anticipate workforce trends, align talent solutions with market needs, and create pathways that prepare individuals and organizations for long-term success. My role bridges strategy with execution, ensuring our programs deliver measurable impact for both employers and talent.

Alongside this, I design and deliver intrapreneurship workshops and keynotes for external organizations while embedding the same principles into internal workforce initiatives. These sessions emphasize the importance of a growth mindset, innovation, and collaboration, equipping teams to think entrepreneurially within their roles and contribute to meaningful organizational success.

My mission is to connect strategy, talent, and innovation to strengthen workforces, prepare businesses for disruption, and build sustainable models for growth.

Evan Jones, Founder and CEO

Evan Jones

President

After 20 years of delivering IT management consulting and infrastructure operations; management services to the federal government XA Systems, and hiring thousands of employees over the years, Evan and his team have developed a system that scales a company’s personnel recruitment with culture-driven candidates who contribute to the success of the business.

As a technology-based business focused on continual process improvement, the methods he and his team have developed have been improved over the years and are centered on employer branding and recruitment marketing that results in a pipeline of engaged candidates ready to be hired on demand. He believes every business can succeed and create an impact if they are willing to take uncomfortable action with the right tools and knowledge. He’s determined to stand in the gap and provide the tools and knowledge businesses need.

To date, he has played a role in the growth and development of more than 30 companies. He has worked behind the scenes of SMBs and massive 8 to 10-figure companies helping them overhaul their processes, reinvent their recruitment marketing strategies, and drive growth, both in net profit and an overall employer reach into job seeker communities.

With a passion for business transformation, Evan has developed his own technology, an enterprise SaaS solution, ServeOptics, that delivers service support performance metrics to IT leaders who need actionable insights to make informed business decisions. The more visibility of operations that exists with real-time performance metrics and automated reporting, the more efficient and effective companies can be in their service support operations, which enables a business to gain a significant competitive advantage in their industry.

Evan is interested in connecting with forward-thinking business professionals who want to collaborate on business opportunities or discuss how his recruitment system can enable a business to attract top-tier candidates, employ on-demand, and retain its best employees.
