Meet the Team

In August of 2009, I packed my life in a car and drove from Atlanta to Baltimore to start my career with IVCi and my life in Baltimore. I didn’t know what to expect in this new chapter of my life. My first position within the IVCi MD office was as a Junior Technician. With support of my colleagues and supervisors, I was constantly growing in both professional knowledge and independence. I started taking over more complex and challenging jobs, which resulted in a promotion to Lead Technician. My favorite part of being in the field was working with our clients directly, and I enjoyed building relationships and representing IVCi. After a few years, I was offered the position of Field Engineer. This position was very challenging but also very fulfilling. It was a role through which I progressed the most in the terms of knowledge base, troubleshooting, audio programming, site organization skills and site management. Still, direct work with our clients was there as a very important part of responsibilities, which as I mentioned earlier, I have especially enjoyed.

Now, I am a System Engineer. It is a very dynamic role with a wide spectrum of responsibilities. IVCi is a place where you get challenged on a daily basis. We have to demonstrate creativity, problem-solving and solution-oriented skills constantly; you always have tremendous support from both management and peers to get the best work done. I would encourage talented individuals to seek the opportunity to work here. Building relationships with colleagues and superiors, engaging in quick and positive thinking, and creating a good atmosphere of teamwork and individual progress have been highlights of my career at IVCi. Last and not least, as an immigrant from Serbia, I look forward to every day at work knowing that some totally new experience (professional, technical, cultural or personal) will happen. IVCi has such a unique culture because of the genuine care put into every element of the workplace and what we create together. I love it.

I started out at IVCi right before the birth of my daughter Vivien. I was nervous to change companies at that time, but was assured in my interview that there would be no issue with paternity leave so soon after starting- in fact when Vivien was delivered and I went on leave 3 weeks after I had started as a project manager, IVCi sent me a baby blanket with Vivien’s name stitched into it as a gift! I was hired as a Project Manager, a role which I held for 3 years, then I was promoted to Senior Project Manager, and a year after that I was promoted to Project Management Office Manager. Along the way I found that IVCi recognizes and rewards hard work, ingenuity, and professional growth– in the course of my career here I was able to achieve PMP certification with my first renewal under my belt.  I’ve been fortunate to be entrusted with some of IVCi’s most prestigious projects and customers- from emergency operations centers for managing oil platform in the gulf, to a state of the art neurosurgery 3D media teaching and training video conference suite at University of California San Francisco,  to a large scale museum exhibit at the American Natural History Museum, IVCi has put me on a path to work with the most demanding and discerning clients and cutting edge technologies. As a career and as a service provider, IVCi is world class.

I had been in the AV industry for 6 years, when joining IVCi. I like working with technology and seeing a satisfied client impressed and thunderstruck with a completed project, especially at Fortune 500 sites. IVCi has shown that they value my willingness to make sure projects are completed on time and the ability to go above and beyond. I like the fact that IVCi hires people with specific skill sets and has tools in place to ensure knowledge is shared throughout the company. My favorite aspect of working at IVCi would be that everyone has their own responsibilities and that we can rely on subject matter experts to proficiently handle the various components of a project. Our audio engineers and programmers are always willing to do what it takes to get the project complete and I always feel supported by the team regardless of location. Even through the pandemic, I have felt supported by IVCi and my team. IVCi wants to see their employees succeed and are willing to give us the resources needed to keep satisfied employees and clients.

I was brought onboard with IVCi as a Senior Field Technician to serve in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia region. This was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen my skills from the service side of the A/V, since I had spent the last 9 years learning the A/V industry from the ground up on the Implementations side of things. IVCi has always provided me with any training I’ve wanted to pursue. There is an open-door policy to all ideas, with accessibility to every level of team management. Over time, this experience has rounded out my full knowledge of how each role played in the A/V industry fit together the right way. Ultimately, I transitioned into a Tier 3 A/V Support Engineer, living and working in North Carolina today. Whether the problems are simple answers, or extremely complex resolutions, working for IVCi has helped me hone my skills to tackle any service needs or escalations that come my way. This has all been made possible because our entire IVCi team is the best in the business at working together to help both its employees and our clients succeed.

Here at IVCi, we are all very fortunate to be surrounded by people who are just as compassionate as they are talented.
