Why WBN Certified Professionals™ Love What They Do
Juan Ibáñez
IDS AutoShred
“In my time with WBN, I’ve never felt like just a number. The Talent Coaches are always ready to listen, offer guidance, and support you through both professional and personal challenges. When I went through a difficult period, my coach handled the situation with understanding and empathy. My client has been equally supportive, encouraging me to learn from mistakes and keep improving. The culture here is about trust, respect, and growth—values I’d recommend to anyone looking for meaningful remote work.”
Thiago Fabbio
Dreamstone Investments
“Transitioning to full-time remote work after 16 years in a traditional role was a big change, but WBN made it seamless. They were transparent from the start and matched me with a client who trusted me from day one. I’ve grown in confidence, especially in direct client communication, and even received great feedback for how quickly I adapted. Beyond the work, WBN’s virtual events create genuine connections across the network. Today, I enjoy a healthier work-life balance and a renewed sense of purpose.”
Marlon Perez
Kay Printing
“My three years at WBN have been filled with opportunities to learn, adapt, and innovate. The culture values collaboration and respect, making challenges feel like stepping stones rather than roadblocks. Working with high-profile clients has sharpened my skills and expanded my industry knowledge. Thanks to the trust from both my client and the WBN team, I’ve grown more confident, adaptable, and ready for whatever comes next.”
Andrea Hackmayer
Sci Foundry
“Two years have flown by, and my journey with WBN has been nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve thrived in a culture that encourages learning, growth, and taking on new challenges that keep me engaged every day. While the compensation has been excellent, what truly stood out was the genuine care I received when I had to relocate for family reasons. That level of support is rare—and it made me realize I’m part of something special.”
Sara Perez
Horticultural Creations
“When I joined WBN, it was during one of the most challenging moments of my life. This opportunity felt like a lifeboat. From day one, the selection process was fast, transparent, and full of constructive feedback, a refreshing change from other companies. The Success Coach model has been invaluable, and the continuing education program keeps my skills sharp. Most importantly, WBN matched me with the perfect client, giving me meaningful work where my design skills and creativity have purpose. I’m grateful for my client’s trust and mentorship, and for WBN’s ability to connect people to roles where they can truly thrive.”
Julieta Robert
Work Smith
“My first year with WBN and my client has been an incredible journey. The support from my Talent Coaches has been constant and meaningful. One highlight was joining my client’s in-person company meeting in Austin, Texas, where we celebrated our annual achievements. Later, I had the privilege of attending the company’s 10th anniversary celebration in Hawaii—experiences that far exceeded anything I imagined when I started. I’m grateful to be part of a partnership that values both results and relationships.”
