I met Angela when I started at Acronis, as she was part of my own interview process. Angela is not only a very experienced and highly successful HR Executive with a deep knowledge about HR related topics and policies, but she also knows and cares about the team and the respective individuals. I was highly impressed about her ability to resolve conflicts or potential issues in the work environment by providing guidance and advice to employees and to managers alike. I always trusted her recommendations, embraced her ideas in regard to the work environment, HR strategy and processes and and truly enjoyed our collaboration.
