“Our partners’ success is the truest measure of us fulfilling our purpose. And I am deeply proud that in doing so, we never lose sight of the human element in a world driven by technology,” said Med Sali-Gelacio, Cloudstaff Head of Human Resources. “This award is a testament to that balance—and above all, to our people.
