Moira Wedel,
Principal Consultant
Professionally speaking, my greatest achievement has to be finding the niche in my chosen profession that fits me perfectly, allowing me to genuinely say that I love my job.
I am very proud of where I am today, having recently attained the role of Principal Consultant and gaining the status of ValueOps Knight in my technical specialism.
What inspires me is the ability to share knowledge and make a positive impact on others, finding immense joy in inspiring others and seeing them overcome challenges to achieve their potential. One of the most rewarding feelings is receiving feedback that I’ve made a difference in someone’s professional or personal life, which fuels my motivation to keep improving and continue being a source of inspiration.
Working for Ignite is particularly fulfilling due to the strong sense of collaboration, mutual support, and respect among colleagues. Everyone is dedicated to achieving shared goals and overcoming challenges, valuing both independence, innovation, and teamwork. Additionally, our mission to deliver genuine value to our clients without compromising on quality and service aligns with my own values, making me proud to represent Ignite.
Elizabeth Lyon,
Head of Sales
One of my proudest achievements was successfully closing multiple high-value deals with Planview and Broadcom in 2024.
This accomplishment not only earned me recognition from Planview but also expanded my responsibilities, allowing me to shape sales processes, support team development, and play a more strategic role in driving growth.
I’m inspired by progress—seeing people, teams, and businesses grow and evolve. Whether it’s helping a client solve a real challenge or enabling a colleague to hit their stride, I’m motivated by the impact we can make when we collaborate with purpose and drive. Innovation also energizes me, with new ideas and fresh approaches fuelling positive change.
Working at Ignite is particularly fulfilling because it’s a place where ideas are valued, people are empowered, and results matter. There’s a real sense of shared ambition and collaboration, and I’ve had the freedom to own and grow key relationships, shape strategy, and contribute beyond just my role. It’s fast-paced, people-focused, and genuinely exciting to be part of.
