Ivana is a seasoned consultant with over 10 years of experience delivering effective change and strategy for various clients, from tech startups to large global corporations and government institutions.
She specializes in fostering workplace cultures where belonging and psychological safety are cornerstones, sustainably embedding equity and empathy into the employee lifecycle, and enabling leaders to successfully navigate talent and culture-related complexities and challenges.
Ivana has supported several organizations to define or elevate their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies and programs and make real progress toward building more human-centred workplaces. She takes a comprehensive approach that blends data-driven insights, powerful honest conversations, and structural and strategic interventions to drive measurable results. Ivana believes that the right approach to culture and DEI is the key to unlocking creative risk-taking and innovation and to sustaining employee happiness, productivity, and loyalty.

When she’s not working, Ivana can usually be found chatting incessantly on FaceTime with her family around the world, being a Mom to her little one, or doing typical Vancouverite things in the mountains (hiking, running, skiing).
