Iva Steven

In short:

PRINCE2-certified IT Project Manager with 12+ years of experience in complex, multi-stakeholder digital projects across Europe and internationally.

Known for excellence in leadership, innovation and sustainable results for European enterprises.

Personality & Strengths:

My strength lies in interpersonal soft skills, listening and a good memory for details - and therefore great stakeholder management skills.

I enjoy to manage and learn many different things in life and have a hence developed a highly organised and structured personality.

I am very determined and focused when it comes to delivering a project, and - as I have grown up with software development - agile project management methods to get to the final results are natural to me.

Furthermore, I am a very analytical person and I often surprise people around me with making links between information very fast - even in unfamiliar domains -, viewing things in the bigger picture and making improvement suggestions easily.

Method of working:

I am a facilitator and point of contact in teams, and people approach me very naturally.

I approach challenges with curiosity and resilience. My energy is solution-oriented, my feedback constructive, and my style inclusive. I enjoy helping teams navigate uncertainty and change with confidence and an optimistic outlook.

Structure and documentation are very important to me, and I use agile methods such as Scrum and Prince2 to lead teams through collaborative decision-making.

I like to apply retrospective meetings and Lessons learned-workshops to ensure continuous improvement within teams.

Based in Strasbourg, I work remotely and travel to build alignment and momentum with teams during key project phases.
