David is a Consultant with Ithaca. He has gathered
experiences in the German banking industry in the areas of Corporate Finance,
Financial Marketing and Strategy. During 2007 he graduated successfully from
the Berlin School of Economics and has just completed an MSc in International
Business Management at Thames Valley University in London.
David has now been with Ithaca for over a
year. From the outset he has proven invaluable as both a member and – now
a leader – of client project work. Without exception he works with clients to
achieve significant, sustainable results in designing and modeling connections
between daily work and business strategies. Delivering those connections as
tangible concepts is part of his structured hands-on work approach.
As an individual, David is client focused and
results driven – but easy to get on with! He demonstrates a quick understanding
of all manner of business issues and has rapidly come to be a trusted confidant
of clients and a valued member of the Ithaca team.
Ramona is a recent MSc Management graduate from
Cass Business School who has just taken up a role as Process Analyst with
Ithaca Business in London.
Ramona’s educational background in science and
business management undoubtedly adds depth to the Ithaca team – particularly in
dealing with some of our biotech and pharmaceutical sector clients. During the
research phase of both her Masters degrees Ramona was continuously faced with
the challenge of analysing data, meeting research goals and deadlines, and
multitasking – giving her an excellent understanding of the challenges faced by
Ithaca’s clients on a daily basis.
Ramona possesses strong analytical skills, a keen
eye for detail, and problem-solving along with a strong acumen for business,
plus great general knowledge of supply chain management and business
strategy. This, together with her strong interpersonal skills, teamwork
experience make her a valued new member of the team.
Rahman joins the team in a junior capacity while
studying toward his undergraduate degree in Computer Science at Kings College,
University of London. We’re looking forward to using his data and IT
skills within a number of our projects.
