About Candice Cade

I’m a strategic HR leader with 15+ years of experience helping organizations grow through their greatest asset — their people. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with executives and leadership teams to build cultures where talent thrives and business goals are achieved.

Currently serving as HR Director at Levy Restaurants (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), I drive workforce planning, leadership coaching, DEI strategy, and organizational design initiatives that support a dynamic, high-growth environment. My career has spanned multi-site, matrixed organizations in hospitality, franchising, security, and aviation — always with a focus on aligning HR with evolving business needs. Key strengths: Talent strategy & succession planning Organizational design & leadership development Employee experience & engagement Change management & culture building DEI strategy & inclusive leadership Data-driven HR and workforce transformation I’m passionate about creating scalable talent programs, fostering leadership capability, and building workplaces where everyone can do their best work. Currently exploring new opportunities to contribute to purpose-driven organizations — and always eager to connect with fellow HR and business leaders.
