Elena Ivanova
As the Director of Impact Foundation for over five years, I have spearheaded the design and implementation of programs fostering market system development while promoting sustainable social and environmental outcomes. Our team has cultivated strong partnerships with donors, communities, and stakeholders, emphasizing impactful reporting, monitoring, and advocacy to drive meaningful change. Through public-private dialogue and strategic lobbying, we have championed innovative approaches to address complex development challenges.
Alongside this role, I have over six years of experience as the founder of Impact Advisory, specializing in management consultancy for private sector development. I have contributed to organizational restructuring projects, improved operational efficiency, and facilitated market access and financing for clients. Passionate about sustainable tourism and digital transformation, I leverage expertise in resource planning and public-private partnerships to deliver actionable strategies aligned with long-term goals.
