Our Mission

Welcome to ivee, where we’re changing the way women return to work after a career break.

The inspiration for ivee came from a personal place — co-founders, sisters Amelia and Lydia Miller, started ivee after seeing their mum struggle to re-enter the workforce. She had to accept a position that undervalued her skills and paid less than she deserved, a situation all too common for women.

Our goal?
  • Prevent salary cuts
  • Stop occupational downgrades

At Our Core

“We saw the system failing women returners and knew we had to change it, ensuring their talents and skills are celebrated, not wasted.”
