I had the privilege of working with Ivan for two and a half years and couldn’t imagine a better Finance partner! We accomplished so much together because we listened to one another, we came up with solutions together and aligned our teams around what we were trying to achieve. I love how practical he is, his desire for feedback, his learning agility and intellectual curiosity and our ability to have tough conversations and come out even stronger because of them. I would work with him again in a heartbeat and he’d be an invaluable asset to any organization!
I have had the pleasure of working with Ivan since he joined Control Risks Americas two years ago. In that time, he has proven to be an invaluable partner to his partners, providing sage counsel and support that has helped us become a more financial data-driven organization and, ultimately, better positioned to make key decisions in growing our business. Because he has experience working as a client services professional, he brings to his role an understanding of the challenges his client-facing partners face and an appreciation of what we need from our finance colleagues to be more effective stewards of our growing business. Ivan is also a great colleague and communicator who works to make sure that everyone, irrespective of their discipline, understands the basics of what drives profitability in a consulting firm. He has been a tremendous addition and I look forward to working with him towards continued future success.
Ivan has been a tremendous finance partner to the consulting business, and has made a large impact in his time here. From a regional Americas perspective, I am incredibly energized in the passion and internal consulting role Ivan takes, along with his team, in helping people make data-driven decisions but from a standpoint of advocacy for expanding the potential for every team member. From a global technology consulting view, Ivan's experience in understanding how to maximize return on investments, and forecasting scale and profitability, has strengthened our overall technology perspective. With his help, we are positioned to get the most out of the technology partners we have in North America and globally. Two years have gone by fast Ivan!
I worked with Ivan for a couple years during my time at Mears. Ivan was always willing to find ways to improve processes and look for better ways to do things. I could count on him to give me valuable feedback on things we were working on. Ivan was also a change agent in that he built relationships with his operational leaders where they viewed him as an important part of the organization, not just the "numbers" guy. That is why I viewed Ivan as a leader and why I recommend him for a leadership position in Finance.
I have worked with Ivan for the last year and have found him to be both strong technically and very client focused. He brought a new level of accounting support and analysis that has helped better understand costs and become more competitive. He always goes above and beyond to provide the information needed.
“Ivan was a tremendous asset to the drilling services organization as well as the North America FP&A team. Ivan was a great communicator up, down and across the organization and always added value to the conversation. He was instrumental in driving cost savings and profitability improvement within the business, consistently having the courage to challenge the “current thinking.”
Working with Ivan was a real pleasure, he was always willing to engage with the team and go beyond his core responsibilities to get the job done. Ivan held himself and the team to a high standard in a way that fostered open communication and motivation throughout the organization. I would work with Ivan again in an instant, he brings value to any organization.
Ivan is a fantastic business partner and very quick study. His ability to quickly understand complexity and develop innovative solutions is second to none. Ivan sets high expecations of himself and those around him and drives hard to exceed them. He would be a fantastic addition to any team.
Ivan is an extremely detail-oriented manager who executes his task with the highest level of integrity and comprehension. He is highly motivated to engage himself in all areas of the business taking initiative outside his assigned task to best understand the business drivers to improve his ability to deliver "Best in Class" results managing the finances.
I enjoyed working with Ivan at PwC. His accounting knowledge, business acumen and forensic mindset were a great combination for our investigation assignments. Ivan's ability to grasp the downstream effect of business processes and investigation findings also proved valuable. Any recommendations I make on this site are entirely my own and do not represent the opinions of my employer, nor have they been submitted to my employer for its approval or review.
Ivan possesses excellent forensic accounting skills and analytical ability. He has succeeded in the ethics and corporate compliance group, adding value not only with his forensic accounting knowledge, but also with his multi-language capability making him a valued asset in Latin American countries. Ivan is forward thinking, motivated, personable, as well as a team team-oriented, mission accomplish employee.
Ivan supported technical/ process review of Environmental matters on financial audits. He knew nothing about it at the outset (nobody did), but that didn't keep Ivan from jumping in and doing whatever was necessary to help. Ivan's primary background had been in investigations; I'm an engineer/ process/ technical guy. I've worked w others who do everything like an investigation. I appreciated different knowledge, perspectives & skills that Ivan brought to the effort - without trying to overwhelm the entire project into an investigation. He's great on details, and has the patience & determination to sift through mounds of data or reports, and make insightful conclusions. He knew when to ask questions, and could immediatly apply the answers and continue tearing through the project. He's also fun to work with. I'd work with Ivan again in a heartbeat.
I have worked with Ivan for several years. He has done an outstanding job on the projects we have worked together on. He is thoughtful and detailed in his anaylsis and advice. He is a real asset and gets along well with people. He is a pleasure to work with.
It was great working with Ivan at PwC. His range of skills and credentials enabled him to work on many types of engagements - such as forensic accounting investigations, audits, and transactions. Our work focused on engaging with audit teams and clients through accounting for environmental liabilities (such as environmental remediation obligations and asset retirement obligations). Knowledge sharing was key to our being able to perform this work, and Ivan was both a great resource and partner in helping us both be able to perform well in our roles.
I've had the pleasure of working closely with Ivan for almost two years at Applus-Velosi North America where he was the SVP Finance & Administration. During this time, Ivan proved to be an extremely knowledgeable, efficient, helpful and detail-oriented manager. He successfully built and managed an excellent finance team which greatly contributed to the smooth operations of the company. I strongly believe Ivan would be a true asset to any employer and heartily recommend him
Ivan was very thorough in his analysis and understanding of maintenance costs and the drivers of these costs. His communication skills are excellent and he developed very good relations with his business partners. It was an honour to work with him and I believe he will be successful in whatever he undertakes.
Ivan has an in-depth knowledge of the FCPA and excellent forensic accounting skills. In combination, these attributes provide Ivan with the skills needed to succeed in a corporate compliance group. Moreover, Ivan is a personable, team-oriented employee and has been a great asset to our Legal Compliance Group.
