Christina Iodice

I'm finding it hard to put into words how much I’m going to miss Christina. For 11 years, she wasn’t just a colleague—she was a friend. Christina was one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. Her sharp mind, kindness, and unique passions, from racing cars to her love for dogs, made her truly one of a kind. Tevora will feel emptier without her, but her memory will live on.

It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to lose someone as special as Christina. She was, without a doubt, the most intelligent person I’ve ever worked with—basically the Yoda of our team. But beyond her brilliance, what really set her apart was her kindness and just how down-to-earth she was. You could talk to her about anything, and she’d always make you feel like you were the most important person in the room (or, well, the Teams call). Every Thursday, we had our touchpoints, and they were one of the highlights of my week. We’d spend the first 20 minutes talking about everything BUT work—whether it was catching up on life, swapping random dog stories, or talking about the squirrel she befriended that she was even able to handfeed! Then, we’d cram all the important stuff into the last 10 minutes before she had to jump to her next call. I still haven’t been able to bring myself to cancel that meeting series on my calendar—it feels like part of her is still there. The Force was truly strong with her. She leaves behind a void that can never be filled, but her light will always be with us. Wish I could be there to celebrate her amazing life with you all!

When I first started at Tevora almost 7 years ago Christina was instrumental in helping us build the Tevora brand in Boston. She was getting a degree from MIT and was always supportive of our events and client meetings. I’ll never forget the night she gave me and Chris Callas a walking tour of the entire campus. I was wearing four-inch heels after a long day at a security conference. I was too afraid to tell her my feet were about to start bleeding. I was always in awe of her ability to contribute knowledgably and passionately to any discussion on any topic and will miss our conversations dearly. She was truly one of a kind and will be deeply missed.

I'll never forget when I told Christina in Denver while we were working on a PCI assessment that I was considering leaving Tevora to pursue a career in comedy. She was so supportive even though it seemed like a crazy idea. I ended up staying in the end and was lucky to work with Christina for 11 years. In that time she mentored me through several career moves, supported my comedy goals, and always lifted others up with her. I would not have the life I have now if it weren't for her support and patience with me over the last decade. The world is a lot emptier without her in it and I'll miss her a lot. Thanks for everything, Christina.

I've had such a hard time putting pen to paper to express anything about Christina. But here it goes, forgive it if it rambles. She was one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of calling a friend. I find myself missing our inside jokes that were a result of working together for over 10 years (she was a Blue Tevora OG). And now I am crying again. When I was pregnant with oldest son Christina got me a car seat and a sticker for my car that read "Baby Up in This Bitch" which I thought was hilarious and ambiguously inappropriate. I'd never seen a sticker like that on another car, except the day I found out Christina past away. I was driving my son to the doctor for his 8 year-old check up. It made me smile and laugh to see that sticker; almost as if Christina was sharing one last laugh with me. I miss her. ~Sabrina

Christina was a wonderful person to share stories, experiences, and ideas with. As a business partner she was reliable and thoughtful - as a friend over the years she became touched our lives and made the world around her a better place. She will surely be missed.

Knowing Christina was a gift. Her zest for life was infectious. She lived life well and valued the people around her. She was able to be the smartest person in the room, while being the one to reach out and really know everyone in the room, too. I loved hearing about her plans to own a winery and am honored that she sometimes shared her special stash of wine with me at events! Christina was always anticipating the next thing and had great ambitions for her team and our company. I am so grateful that she was able to fulfil so many of her dreams in her lifetime. Christina, thanks for all the memories, teaching me so much, and being an inspiration and a great friend! I will miss you dearly and will always think of you fondly on Star Wars Day!
