At some point in the rush of her career, Ivana took a step back and assessed the trajectory at which she was moving. In this simple act of slowing down, she made a promise to herself: “The next role I take on needs to be something more aligned with my values.” And then, she began working at NIRAS.
Being with the company has been a joy for Ivana, not only because she is able to contribute immensely to climate and energy initiatives, but also because of the structure in the organisation.
“I have a long professional experience, and I’ve worked in various environments. But NIRAS is different. The organisational structure is flat, which means everybody’s opinion is respected,” she says. “You also grow from different perspectives, both professionally and personally. And in this structure, you’re given the space to share the best of yourself to colleagues.”
