Mary Christina Senior Manager for Sales and Business has shown she's all-in throughout her 5+ dedicated years with Acara Solutions: "Through open communication and collaboration, we've created a winning sales culture that people enjoy being a part of."
"I first joined the Acara team as an on-premise Talent Acquisition Specialist and worked on one of our largest aerospace and defense accounts before transitioning to a Recruiting Specialist role. These two positions helped me to learn the nuts and bolts of recruiting. I absorbed as much information as I could, knowing that these roles would ultimately propel me to take on new opportunities within the company. When I first joined Acara, the company was first starting to establish itself in the Canadian market, so I was excited to be joining a young team that was motivated to prove itself. I knew the company had such tremendous potential, and I grew committed to doing whatever I could to help the organization expand its footprint in the Mississauga area and beyond."
