ABOUT

I've always chosen the unconventional path.

My belief is that perhaps it will lead me to myself.

From a degree in geology to transforming businesses, I've only really wanted to do one thing: find the highest leverage entry point and give my all to it.

Over the years, my clients have used words like resilient, reliable, outcome-driven, dedicated, and adaptable to describe me.

Today, I bring that same instinct to every business I work with.

I find the leverage and turn it into results.

Esther Akinsola speaking

You've already built the business
Now find what's next

You already have a product, customers and a business that works.

The question is: where does the next meaningful revenue come from?

Maybe it's a new market.

Maybe it's a different customer segment, a strategic partnership, a stronger distribution route or more value from the accounts you already have.

I help you identify the opportunity, determine the commercial route to it and go after it with you.

How I create the results

No predetermined playbook.

Every business has a different commercial opportunity.

I look at the business, the market and the opportunity first, then determine the route to revenue and what needs to happen to capture it.

CASE STUDIES

Taking a Caribbean hospitality product into new markets

GuestChat had a strong AI-powered hospitality product, but its commercial presence was concentrated in the Caribbean.

The opportunity was to find customers beyond its existing market and establish a repeatable route into new regions.

I researched target markets, identified the right hotel segments and decision-makers, built the prospecting approach, led outreach and sales conversations, and developed the relationships needed to bring new hotels onto the platform.

The result
  • First customer secured in Uganda
  • First customer secured in Germany
  • 60+ qualified demos
  • 23.5% increase in company revenue

Accounts personally secured remained active throughout my 2+ year tenure.

Securing a £1M+ strategic account through a larger buyer network

The company was looking beyond individual travellers and travel advisors as direct routes to growth.

The opportunity was to get its offering in front of a large network with an established base of travel advisors, creating access to a much larger pool of potential buyers and a route that could significantly expand revenue.

I identified the prospect, researched the opportunity, initiated the relationship, developed the account and ultimately onboarded the organisation onto the business.

The result
£1M+
Annual-revenue strategic account secured

Building a reseller network for a new travel technology business

A new travel technology company wanted to scale by building a network of tour companies that could act as resellers in other markets.

There was no established reseller network to work from.

The opportunity was to identify the right businesses, establish relationships and create the partnerships needed to give the product distribution beyond its initial market.

I identified and approached potential reseller partners, assessed their fit, developed the relationships, and worked through the commercial process to establish partnerships across the GCC.

The result
17
Strategic partnerships established across the GCC

Don't take my word for it

Working with Esther was a genuine pleasure.

She stepped in as our closer for Her Tech Academy and made an immediate impact.

She is professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with, and she took the time to actually understand our program and our audience of women breaking into tech.

On calls she is warm and consultative rather than pushy, which matters a lot to us, and it showed in her close rate.

She kept our tracker updated, followed up consistently, and always represented the brand with care.

I would happily hire Esther again and recommend her to anyone looking for a closer who can sell with heart.

Thank you, Esther!

Malia Khan

Esther has been a great addition to our team.

She is professional, reliable, highly organized, and always communicates clearly.

What stands out most is her ability to think independently and contribute ideas that improve our processes.

She does not simply complete tasks; she actively looks for ways to make things more efficient and provides valuable feedback whenever she sees opportunities for improvement.

She adapts quickly, keeps excellent records, follows up consistently, and takes her responsibilities seriously.

Her attention to detail and proactive approach make her someone we can trust with important parts of our workflow.

We are very happy with Esther's work and look forward to continuing our collaboration.

I am thankful for everything that you do.
