Speakers

Ivana Novosel Ifka - VA specialized in debt collection and business processes
Ivana Novosel Ifka - VA specialized in debt collection and business processes

Until recently, Ivana worked in a traditional office, responsible for administration, accounting, and finance. Although successful in her role, she knew she wanted something more – freedom, growth, and challenges beyond fixed boundaries. Her shift to the online world began with training as a Virtual Assistant on the GoThrive platform, followed by a specialization as an Online Business Manager. Along the way, she tested her limits, discovered new opportunities, and learned how to grow through change.


Today, she collaborates with clients who understand the value of delegation and confidently entrust her with tasks so they can focus on developing their businesses. She is especially inspired by creating efficient systems that bring order to business processes and save valuable time. Her first collaborations came from the fields of real estate, architecture, ISO standards, and online coaching – initially through networking, and later thanks to referrals from satisfied clients. Ivana’s message is clear: If you’re asking yourself what you would do if you could – allow yourself to begin. Yesterday would have been great, but the best moment is right now!

Ivana Predovan - VA specialized in administrative and customer support

Ivana Predovan built over ten years of experience in tourism, where she perfected her communication and organizational skills. At one point, she realized she could offer more—not only to guests but also to entrepreneurs who need support in their daily business operations. The turning point was her training on the GoThrive platform, after which she decided to step into the world of virtual assistance. Today, she enthusiastically helps entrepreneurs with administration and customer support—the areas where she feels strongest and where her clients gain real value.


She loves bringing clarity and order to business processes, and her greatest satisfaction comes from freeing up her clients’ time and space for what truly matters to them. Reliability, organization, and a sincere, relaxed approach to collaboration are what best describe her. For Ivana, virtual assistance is not just a job, but an opportunity to grow alongside her clients, explore new industries, and push her own boundaries every day.
