“I had the pleasure of working with Magda for almost 9 years. I remember when she started with the company and made herself available to the field team as soon as she started. She was accessible to store teams and was a tremendous mentor and partner for the district manager team. Magda was able to keep her pulse on stores and even down to the associate level. She personally reached out and formed relationships with GMs to better understand their business and each unique situation. She was present in conversations and was able to dissect complicated issues to identify root causes and help create solutions that were both fair and equitable. I was able to partner with Magda through a range of situations from training and development to highly escalated employee relations issues. Magda always approached situations from multiple angles and helped me personally work through some difficult store team challenges. I was thankful for my professional relationship with Magda and will always consider her a resource for anything that may come up in the future. ”
