Jamhali Portus

Director, Alternative Workforce NetApp
I’ve been in the contingent workforce space since 2003, starting as an onsite manager for Venturi Staffing at Levi Strauss. Over the years, I’ve worked across staffing, MSP, and the buyer side, gaining a 360° perspective of the industry. My passion lies in building best-in-class contingent workforce management programs that balance Quality, Efficiency, Cost, and Risk. Having managed large-scale global CW programs from both the vendor and buyer perspectives, I understand the business objectives and challenges on each side of the table. I deeply value my professional network—many of whom have played a significant role in shaping and evolving contingent workforce management both within their organizations and across the industry. I’m always happy to share ideas, insights, and best practices—so feel free to reach out or send me a connection request. I still have plenty to learn, but I’m always willing to share what I know. 🤝 Outside of work, you’ll find me soaking up the outdoors with my husband and our two boys (ages 16 and 11) — whether we’re riding dirt bikes, boating, wake surfing, skiing, or simply enjoying the moment with a bougie coffee ☕ or a crafted cocktail 🍸 in hand. Life’s best moments are spent sharing laughs with our friends and family. ❤️
