ThoughtWire's Holiday Party and Awards Ceremony

This past weekend - ThoughtWire had a blast hosting our annual Holiday party and company award ceremony. We hosted a team building scavenger hunt around the city of Toronto, a charitable gift exchange, and our annual award ceremony. 

Award Recipients

The awards are a ThoughtWire tradition that aims to recognize those who go above and beyond in their work, bring the team closer to our goals, and support their peers to do the same. The award winners were determined by nomination and by deliberation of those who received awards last Holiday party.

Rookie of the Year: This person really dove into the deep end and got sh*t done. We can see their immediate impact.

• Agnes Chow (HR Business Partner): For being our first HR person and making positive impact in so many different aspects. She works diligently to make ThoughtWire an amazing place to be.
• Jasmine Vo (Sales Development Representative): For delivering consistent results and opportunities with creativity and diligence. She is an integral player in ensuring ThoughtWire's sales team's pipeline is full.
