Meet the team behind IFC...
Dimitri is one of the directors at IFC, see what he has to say about the company:
Who are you in the IFC family?
I am a team player, no task is below me, long hours do not scare me and I look for opportunities. I prefer to see the glass half full as opposed to half empty. I will jump in and help with everything when and where needed at the workplace. I fully understand that in order to be successful in what we do we need to do things properly, ethically and most important on the correct time schedule. The very end users success is our success.
The nature of the beast is that we operate 24h so my team knows they can call me at any time. Apart from the actual IFC work, I like to believe we are a small family and we look after each other even on personal issues.
What is the main role at IFC?
Formally, I am one of two directors, I am involved with all facets of the business ( daily operations, business development, finances, HR, GEN management). We are involved in the service industry, albeit a very specialised high-end logistics service. We deal with some high profile clients worldwide. On a daily basis, it is my duty to ensure the well being of the staff, who in turn look after the clients and their flights. It is my duty to review/assess each decision we make as a team and direct the team on any issue that arises. Each decision made on a daily basis affects our growth as a company so it is vital to ensure that the daily running of the business is in line with the future strategic goals of the business. Basically, I try to “marry” the current threats & opportunities to future goals through a complex set of decisions.
What do you enjoy most about being at IFC?
I enjoy working in a small team where people are known by name and not by number. I enjoy that we deal with some very prestigious clients on a global scale, the fact that you arrive at the office and you not sure which part of the world you will be working in today or what mission you will form part of. Often when big things are happening in the media we are in the background humbly doing our task. Our job is very unpredictable but that’s what keeps it exciting. I enjoy that the business is international and we have contacts all over the planet.
