I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ida for several years at Activision, during which she reported to me as the leader of our project management team. Ida consistently impressed me with her proactive approach to every task and her ability to build and nurture strong relationships with stakeholders. No matter the challenge, Ida eagerly tackled each endeavor with dedication and an eye for detail, ensuring both her team and the larger projects within our organization always stayed on track.

One of Ida’s standout qualities is her commitment to process refinement. She is always seeking ways to optimize workflows, improve efficiency, and ensure her team has the tools and resources they need to succeed. Her leadership style focuses on empowerment and support, and it’s clear that her team thrives under her guidance. Ida’s ability to balance the strategic and interpersonal aspects of leadership is truly impressive.

I highly recommend Ida for any future roles. Her dedication to continuous improvement, her relationship-building skills, and her commitment to her team’s success make her an invaluable asset to any organization

Ida is the epitome of a Project Management Leader at Activision. She manages 4 people and supports cross-functional collaboration in a global enterprise level business representing 9 studios with competing priorities. She leads by example, understands the granular details, and relentlessly improves processes to maintain best practices for future projects and a healthy work / life balance.

Ida’s depth of experience and technical prowess led her to setup our team’s source of truth, a Monday.com + Jira integration with automations supporting 6 teams, 15 project timelines with deliverables, dependencies and risks, roadmap, and a group / individual resource capacity tracker including time off for holidays and vacations. This was a major win for ensuring alignment because stakeholders were able to view our board anytime for an accurate report on milestones and status.

Ida has been an adaptable, thoughtful, and supportive teacher for over 3 years. I’ve applied her clever problem solving methods at work and at home. If you’re looking for someone to do everything extraordinarily well, Ida is the one!
