I have known Ida for well over 30 years as a friend and colleague and have always valued her opinion and enjoyed her company. In the last few years, however, I have gotten to know Ida in her role as an advisor and counselor on issues relating to women’s advancement and retention and on career transitions. Her insight and skill in these roles is nearly unequaled by others’. She is wise and listens carefully and without judgment. She does not hesitate to call things as she sees them but does so in a supportive way. Her knowledge about professional service firms is very current and she possesses a great breadth of experience she can draw upon.
