Candace Turzanski is a Leadership Consultant with Concord Consulting Corporation who partners with organizations across Canada and the United States to improve organizational performance through stronger leadership, talent, and workforce effectiveness.

Her career combines executive operational leadership with organizational consulting, providing clients with practical experience leading complex operations while helping organizations improve performance through their people. Before joining Concord Consulting, Candace held senior leadership positions with internationally recognized hospitality brands, including Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and Delta Hotels. She led large operational teams where financial performance, employee engagement, customer experience, and leadership capability were equally critical measures of success. This experience provided firsthand insight into the realities leaders face when balancing operational performance with developing people, building culture, and delivering business results.
