ColoradoBiz Magazine honors Denver talent solutions leader for commitment to people-first business
DENVER, CO — ColoradoBiz Magazine has named Kathleen Quinn Votaw, founder and CEO of TalenTrust, a Top Women in Colorado Business honoree for 2026. Votaw, who founded TalenTrust more than 25 years ago, has built the firm on the principle that the companies that win are the ones that invest in their people first.
Under Votaw’s leadership, TalenTrust has become a trusted talent solutions partner for mid-market companies across the country. The firm’s approach goes beyond placing candidates. TalenTrust helps organizations build the leadership systems and talent strategies that reduce turnover, strengthen culture, and drive long-term growth.
“We started TalenTrust because we saw too many companies treating hiring as a transaction instead of a strategy,” said Votaw. “This award is a reflection of the team we have built and the clients who trust us to help them get this right.”
Votaw is also a published author and keynote speaker, known for her Designed to Care framework and her books “Solve the People Puzzle” and “Dare to Care in the Workplace.”
