Anna brings a wealth of experience to Ixia, in both a consulting and operational management capacity. With more than 10 years in the human resources industry, Anna launched Ixia with co-founder and director Wendy Mitchinson in response to the needs of organisations to address critical business and engagement issues in today’s challenging economic environment.
