Cleaning might have been in the blood for Stacey Hubac, who started at OCS when she was just 14 years old. But it was the women around her who inspired a career out of it.

International Women’s Day | Our PeopleEmma Wildon on Leading with Passion
After a decade at OCS, Emma Wildon has learned that vulnerability can sit alongside strength in leadership – though she still keeps tissues in her office, just in case. Today, Emma is the Wellington Area Manager, leading a team of 443 colleagues. Alongside seven other area managers across Aotearoa New Zealand, the role now has an even gender split – a shift that reflects how leadership across the business continues to evolve.
