I had the pleasure of working with Ilka and her team on multiple projects. Every project came in with a clear strategy, on time, on budget, and truly set up for continuous success. Her ability to understand the magnitude of work across all brands, departments and systems was amazing. She is a true professional who understands the complexities of business transformation. Ilka and her team always exceeded my expectations. I recommend her to anyone needing a trusted partner to implement new strategies.
