About Ivy

Inga has built a successful career at an early age as an active entrepreneur and business consultant across a wide range of industries. With a master’s degree in finance and experience in journalism, she became CEO of a leading international steel trading company at the age of only 30.

After thirteen years of being active in the steel industry, Inga found a new passion in the business of matchmaking. She has become a fervent, skilled and reputable matchmaker and is determined to provide only the best of value for her clients. Inga’s charismatic and avid personality – together with her commercial acumen – makes her perfectly suited for the world of elite introductions. With a natural ability to read and match individuals, she is committed with an open minded spirit to provide members with a new world of opportunities. Because she believes, just as Shakespeare did, it’s not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.

She is a proud mum and a keen traveller with a requisite for adventure.

A graduate in business management and passionate when it comes to marketing and communication, Ana Daniela began her professional career as a consultant for a well-known Group of Companies in the beauty and well-being Sector in London, UK. With a desire to explore the world, she took the challenge to work in a global position as a PR and Ambassador for a prestigious hospitality company based in Miami, USA. It was there where she had the chance to take part in holistic workshops and she had the opportunity to hold seminars each 4th or 5th day in different cities – on different themes related to promoting a conscientious lifestyle, developing healthy relationships, mindfulness, time management and even supporting various charities through the sales of its products.

Travelling and interacting with people world-wide has always played a big role in her life. Not only because it allowed her to discover amazing places and explore different cultures, but also to meet and learn from prestigious authors, teachers, speakers, alchemists, shamans, visionary beings, dreamers, priests and universe mystery keepers – people passionate as her in well-being, happy relationships and a fulfilled life in all aspects.

Ana Daniela’s experiences, both personal and professional have allowed her to build a valuable network in the holistic field and she is passionately active when it comes to transpersonal psychology, happy relationships, inner exploration and self-development. She has proven herself to be a valuable asset to the team, with an inspiring positive mind-set.

Effervescent and dynamic, Maureen is a business management graduate and private banker by profession. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career, working for a leading international investment bank in South Africa, her place of birth, in the high net worth and real estate banking divisions.

It is in banking, that she learnt the art of relationship management and developed a true understanding of the time and personal life demands facing her affluent clients.

Maureen then stepped out of the banking arena to follow her passion for food and the luxury leisure industry. Her work as an international lifestyle chef and consultant has given Maureen the professional agility she possesses today as well as priceless insights into different worlds of work, lifestyles and what makes people spark.

With the same courage and curiosity that Maureen has harnessed to explore her professional life, so too has she extended this philosophy to her personal life.

Maureen is a seasoned ‘singleton’ with 15 years of active dating experience (book to follow!) – but more importantly, also a former Ivy client who now resides in Germany with her Ivy Match and love of her life.

As an Ivy Relationship Manager and Mentor who has been on both sides of the Ivy matchmaking process, she is therefore truly empathic and sensitive to the needs of her clients.

Maureen practices yoga, collects exotic begonias and will always be a romantic at heart.

James had always taken a lot of pride in his own appearance and during his time as a Personal Trainer other men started asking him to help them with theirs, invariably to get an edge at work or with women – to look more like a leader, to be taken seriously and to feel attractive. Naturally, his career as a style expert grew organically from there.

His approach to men’s style is both simple and holistic. It’s about exuding good health, vitality and confidence. To make the best of what we have been given and to be truly comfortable in one’s own skin. James believes that our outward style must be aligned with our inner character and personality.  The clothes we decide to wear are only a small part of this. Fitness, etiquette and class are some of the other aspects James can assist with.

Not a fashionista, a designer or a trend setter or anything of the sort. James has simply taken on the important task of helping men show their best inner self on the outside too.
