Background

About Ester Martinez

My conviction: We're living in the most exciting time, not because of what we can build, but because of what we can help emerge. A quote I love: “The success of any intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervenor,” Bill O'Brien, former CEO, Hanover Insurance (From Otto Scharmer’s research, Presencing Institute) My journey: After building People Matters for 15 years (Asia's largest HR community platform) and successfully exiting, I found myself asking: How can I be of service to a better world that is wanting to emerge? How can I bring my experiences in business to increase impact in communities? My Values: bring light where you go, constantly evolve, be relentlessly positive My current focus- IESE School of Founders: Co-designing learning experiences that help entrepreneurs transform themselves and their business - Investing & Mentoring: Supporting founders across Spain, India, the Netherlands, Nigeria, and the US - Portfolio Impact: Gate2Brain (advancing brain cancer treatment), BFlex (transforming mobility), and BBetter (elevating wellness) What moves me: My experimentation is grounded in U.Lab methodology from MIT's Presencing Institute. I'm fascinated to collaborate with people who are actively invested in what wants to be born. People who are co-creating solutions that restore balance in how we live and work together.
