Our Story
Born from loss. Built for purpose.
Oncology Talent Partners was born from a story that neither founder chose — but that changed them forever.
Jim Lucier is a staffing industry leader. Ashley Wyse is an oncology nurse practitioner. Their paths crossed when Jim's son Hunter was diagnosed with metastatic testicular cancer. Ashley was part of his care team. A bond formed between them — forged through hope, hard days, and Hunter.
Hunter died exactly one year after his diagnosis. He was 27. Five years later, Ashley faced cancer herself. As a breast cancer survivor, she now carries the experience of this disease both as a provider and a patient. Recently, Jim and Ashley walked alongside close family members facing cancer again.
Together, Jim and Ashley are committed to strengthening the standard of cancer care by connecting cancer programs to exceptional oncology talent.
