Bio
Angela L.
It is with great pleasure I write this recommendation for Virginia (Aka the Oracle). Virginia is exceptionally knowledgeable in International HR and all things People. She was exceptionally instrumental in my own growth at TMS imparting her Global knowledge with me and ensuring I was up to speed in no time. Virginia is highly committed and will always go above and beyond for employees and the business. Virginia is a ray of sunshine in the workplace too! Her enthusiasm, positive energy, and attentiveness to people’s needs is truly inspiring which is super influential and infectious to company culture. The fact that Virginia has a special ability to connect and build trusting relations with just about anyone, is GOLD, especially in her profession. Although I will miss having her as a colleague, I am 100% sure she will make an incredible addition to her new team! I have no doubt she will bring the same enthusiasm, and dedication to any company who is lucky enough to have her.

As General Manager of APAC I have been very fortunate to have worked with Virginia for the past 4 years. As one could imagine, every region needs the complete support of a HR business partner and I have been extremely lucky to have had Virginia in my corner - Quite frankly I am not sure I could have done my job without her, our successes in region are a direct reflection of her excellent work. Her work ethic and commitment is second to none and team working attitude is exceptional. Always approaches with a smile and can do attitude. Any team she works for would be lucky to have her!
