"Ivie is a fantastic product manager whom I genuinely valued having on the team. "
She lead a very lean team for our senior housing business, where she had to take a very broad product role, and lead the business almost as a GM, and then later played a more focused product role, leading a growth initiative for us around sellers and owners. The first role showcased her results oriented nature, as she drove strong business outcomes for our senior housing business, and the second role was a great demonstration of her empathetic, user centered product capabilities, as she drove the launch of a new product experience in a new user category for realtor.com. Ivie is a problem solver, who excels at identifying and executing creative solutions, and she is great with stakeholders and partners, because she is a very strong and direct communicator. I particularly admired Ivie's relentless drive to learn and improve as a product manager, and I know that will serve to drive her continued growth and success. I miss having her on the team.

“It is hard to encapsulate Ivie in just one word, so I will use two, expansive mind..”
She questions everything and thinks of scenarios that most people overlook. As a result, she always leads teams to discover deeper insights and ideas. She is constantly pushing everyone to perform and problem solve better. She is known for getting stuff done and excels at giving feedback that is pointed and constructive. In my role as a UX Designer, I worked closely with Ivie on 2 products and I was very impressed with her ability to juggle multiple projects and to work cross functionally with various internal and external partners in numerous location and time zones. Her ability to connect with people and get buy in is something I admire and helped us deliver a better experience for the end user.She is that rare team member that is equally passionate about exceeding revenue goals and making sure the user gets the best solution out of it. She is also someone who gets how important team culture is in bringing diverse coworkers together. How many times we were stuck, and just going on a walk or for a cortado run, or some Burmese takeout would help us find a better way to solve problems, conflicts, etc. Any team that has Ivie has won the lottery ticket. I, for sure, would love to work with her again.

“Ivie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a determined, motivated, and passionate individual.”
I worked alongside Ivie at Realtor.com and she really took initiative as the Senior Product Manager to overhaul the platform, to help shape its success and be the best product it could be. She's not afraid to challenge decisions or experiment in an effort to uncover solutions. Aside from her strong work ethic, Ivie is a kind, high spirited individual that made the workplace a great place to be.
