Candice Hunt is the Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Leadacy, where she leads the firm’s vision for leadership development, learning design, and executive coaching.

With more than a decade of experience in talent development, Candice has helped organizations navigate complex change and scale their leadership capabilities. She played a key role in designing and leading the team integration strategy for the largest credit union merger in U.S. history, aligning leaders, systems, and culture during a period of significant transformation.

Candice is known for building leadership experiences that actually change how people show up, not just what they know. She has spent her career designing high-impact programs, coaching leaders, and creating learning environments that are engaging, honest, and immediately applicable. Her background in education shaped her belief that development should be practical, challenging, and rooted in real-world application, not theory.

She partners with organizations across industries to strengthen leadership pipelines, develop first-time managers, and build cultures where people and performance grow together.

A dedicated advocate for the talent development community, Candice served eight years on the board of the Capital Region Association for Talent Development and now supports chapters nationwide as a National Advisor.
