Laura Ventura - Former VP People, Lime & Clever
“I've worked with Candice at both of my last two companies, and in both cases she delivered on complex projects beyond my expectations. She consistently produced high-quality, highly customized work products under a tight timeline - she really reduced the stress of delivering on key projects. I'd give Candice my highest recommendation, and I'd love to work with her again."

Michelle Pulido - VP of People, Rothy's
“We partnered with Candice to build our first company Career Level Framework. She led us through a comprehensive process and was effective at working with people from all areas across the company. Her extensive experience working with scaling companies combined with her deep knowledge of people operations helped us create a sound framework and her flexibility and insights ensured it was specifically relevant to our company. Candice felt like an extension of our team and we felt very fortunate to work with her throughout this process."

Charles Mi - Founder/Chief Executive Officer, ADARA
“Candice was instrumental in helping with our HR strategy, hiring processes, and executive training. Candice's disciplined, data-driven decision making process is what's so unique and effective about her approach. Several times we ran into multiple difficult decisions around org structure and hiring priorities, but Candice provided a structured process to align various team to come to a decision using employee and benchmark data as the foundation. That's often easier said than done when multiple teams have their own goals unique to their functions, but Candice was able to create a process that everyone could align with and be committed to. Candice's broad experiences in HR management and her interpersonal skills are great resources to tap into in dealing with any sort of people management and alignment challenges."
