“I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Candace for over the past 3 years. From the moment I joined Wise, Candace's professionalism and expertise were evident. She has been such a cornerstone of our People team in our Americas region, contributing as the Americas People Operations Advisor and then as our Americas People Operations Senior Lead. We worked closely together early on as she was a key partner to make our new employee onboarding process in the Americas smooth and efficient. I've also observed her tackle some tough situations affecting our US workforce with impressive professionalism and genuine empathy. Candace's deep HR knowledge and unwavering positivity consistently stand out to me. Candace goes above and beyond her role and has also been an invaluable thought partner to me, providing sound advice and support whenever needed. Working with her has been a true privilege, and I have the highest amount of respect and regard for her. She's an outstanding colleague and human being through and through!”
