Esther’s work spans across sectors.

She has wide ranging experience working with corporate multinationals, growth-stage businesses, public and third sector organisations.

“I specialise in solving complex problems collaboratively, breaking down silos, and analytically explore various options, rather than validating a single solution. I thrive in fast-paced environments – quickly immersing myself in new contexts and translating theory into practice is my bread and butter.”
