FOUNDER’S WELCOMEGreetings Fellow Dreamers & Doers!
Our goal is to support you on your journey towards making a lasting positive impact. My team and I have dedicated our lives to finding new ways of getting everyone to dream bigger and do more together. We deeply believe that uniting rising leaders around meaningful endeavors will spark a new renaissance that unlocks human potential.
Our inspiration for IVY has been strongly influenced by my experiences at Harvard Business School and Brown University. Leading universities have a proven track record of substantially accelerating social, professional, and intellectual development. Together with fellow IVY members and team, we are cultivating a new kind of community that stands to provide the same benefits to all rising leaders throughout their lives.
Everything we do is shaped by our extraordinary team of leaders based across our seven chapters in the USA. I’m currently based in NYC, and travel frequently to learn from our expanding community. Originally from Turkey and Scotland, I’ve always been inspired by my humanitarian mother Suzi and entrepreneurial father Iliya. Prior to IVY, I worked at Morgan Stanley in M&A and Strategy. My favorite sports are skiing and rugby, and I have a real weakness for French bulldogs.
Please reach out to me anytime to share your thoughts, ideas, and advice. I am grateful for your interest in IVY, and look forward to meeting you soon!

“I joined IVY almost a year ago and it was by far one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving to Los Angeles. As a true lover of cocktail parties, galas and networking in general, I was initially drawn to IVY as a platform to create social and professional relationships within a new city. However, in addition to the extraordinary events that have successfully filled my social calendar, I have acquired that and so much more. Through insightful and inspiring discussions with local entrepreneurs to private tours of a highly sought after LACMA exhibit, and even a guided yoga class from a yoga studio founder, I have truly grown as a person through my membership with IVY. I am constantly impressed with the caliber of people I have met through this group and am especially grateful for the marvelous friendships that have thus resulted – many thanks to Teresa Lucas, our community manager, who has without a doubt been the mastermind behind all these wonderful connections! I would recommend IVY to anyone in any city who is looking to make worthwhile business and personal connections, continue education through hands on events, explore the city in a new way, or to just belong to a great group that will enrich your life on every level!”
Kate Brickley, Los Angeles Member
“I could not be happier about my time with Ivy so far. I have been a member for a year in Boston. As someone who went to college in Boston and worked professionally for 2 years, IVY reminded me how diverse and ambitious the people of Boston really are. For me, the events are why I joined ivy and why I'm still a member. The events are always fun and carefully thought out. From the new member happy hours that come with an open bar to bigger events like the winter gala, there is something for everyone. Great feature about IVY is that you can attend events in other cities no matter your chapter. As a traveling consultant this was huge for me. My personal favorite event was the Ivy summer camp which was a fun summer weekend getaway with 300+ IVY members, where there was non stop outdoor activities.

"IVY is the perfect mix of amazing experiences with amazing people. IVY isn't just yet another social club - it's a gathering of incredibly successful and intelligent people who I consider friends, if not amazing individuals that I admire. You can meet everyone from top-tier professors to off-the-wall artists at the same event, and everyone, regardless of background or industry, is incredibly welcoming, outgoing, and interesting.
Beyond IVY's amazing people, its events are superb. I've done incredible things with IVY: I've cruised down roads in Havana in a drop-top convertible from the '50s, raced across a glacier in Iceland, zip lined across trees in West Virginia, attended a fun/retro summer camp in Connecticut, and attended amazing lectures by thought leaders in virtually every industry. The events are as varied as they are enjoyable, and all feel positively effortless despite the incredible efforts made by IVY's events team.
Needless to say, the price for admission into IVY is well worth it - it's a small cost for entrance into an amazing club that has genuinely made my life better in every respect. I can't recommend it enough."
Kirk Sigmon, Washington DC Member
"From the day I learned about IVY I was captivated by their advanced online platform which allows the members to connect and share ideas, events, communications, etc. and at the same time presents social networking in a whole different level. You don't have to worry about going to an event alone, because the moment you step into the room there are welcoming crew which makes sure they introduce you to someone new every time and you can always count on meeting quality people at quality places.
I joined IVY a little over a month and attended only 4 events thus far but I cannot stop talking about it to friends and absolutely leveraging the variety of services and opportunity it offers for my company, Moi Soli, as well as networking outside of my city.”

"Not only does IVY open-up the possibility to try different things, things you might have never thought to try, or didn't have access to - from cultural events, such as exclusive arts performances, where you get to meet the author, artist or go back stage following your favorite ballet performance; to exclusive sports events (yes I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the court with the Celtics players as they practiced pre-game); to informative talks by world-class leaders in their field; to volunteering opportunities; to sweating away in a boxing ring; to just hanging out in a bar with a great group of diverse members; but trying new things also allows you to continue with something that you particularly enjoyed doing to enrich your life in a different way. This way, I feel like IVY just keeps on giving.”
Lina Sladkeviciute, Boston Member
"I have been a member of the Los Angeles Chapter for almost a year. I still feel the same sense of novelty I experienced when I first joined IVY. Events range from Fashion Shows, Listening to Lectures while sipping on Johnny Walker Whiskey, and the exclusive IVY Cuba expedition. They were all amazing experiences.
However the BEST part of IVY are the people in the Los Angeles office. They really run a good show and know how to make a person feel great about themselves and their ideas. The passion I have seen from them is only exceeded by their ability to make change happen for you."
Jesse Ehrlich, Los Angeles Member
