Issy was an incredible and unforgettable colleague who I had the privilege to work with since before she arrived in the UK. Our first conversations together happened virtually and many miles apart – she was so friendly and easy to talk to (despite the time zone differences meaning some late nights/early mornings). Her enthusiasm and energy for her work was infectious. So when I heard she was successful in her application for a job in my team in the UK I was so happy and of course she lived up to the hype! She had so much talent and was always keen to share her insight and help wherever and whenever possible (I don’t think I would have passed a job interview without her guidance). It was really inspiring to watch Issy hone her expertise in the standards world and with her work make a genuine difference and impact that will influence the world for the better for a long time to come. More than that though, she was a great friend with a hilarious sense of humour. I’ll forever cherish our conversations and overzealous use of instant messages/gifs to make fun of ongoing meetings. One of my favourite things about Issy was hearing about her weekend plans on a Friday, she always had good ones, whether it was a gig, seeing some new movie or travelling abroad. An inspiring person who achieved so much inside of work, but more importantly outside of it. I will miss Issy and everything about her dearly, my thoughts and heart are with her family and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
