I was impressed with Ivy’s natural ability to take leadership on a project and nurture younger team members. Her confidence in those younger members has given them the confidence and trust to take large steps forward in their own careers. Ivy has strong vendor management skills and working in partnership with vendors has allowed her to pull off incredible events regardless of geographic locations or time zones. Her greatest strengths:• Tenacity – Ivy has a strong moral compass that guides her in her work and her tenacious nature serves that well. • Leadership – Ivy is a natural leader and this has been demonstrated time and again, with the team, with vendors and with clients. • Attention to detail – Ivy has incredible attention to detail, and works to drive everything to the highest standard. I have enjoyed my experience of working with Ivy very much – she very quickly gelled with a small and close team and created a leadership position. She built my trust and worked to take pressure away from my role. She was a trusted peer and advisor on both projects and the business. I will miss working with her.
