ESTHER KWAKU

FOUNDER AND CEO

Driven by an urge to work more with grassroots communities in rural communities, Esther quit her job in the charity sector and set out on a mission to find others who were making powerful change happening in the world. Fast forward to today and she now leads the highly ambitious, rapidly-growing team at Nerve. Esther has worked in marketing, communications and events for the non-profit sector for almost 20 years, travelled to over 40 countries, working on global humanitarian issues including in Sudan, DRC, Ethiopia and Myanmar. Esther is a frequent keynote and masterclass speaker on storytelling, purpose and authenticity. Add a bundle of creativity, post-it notes and a touch of madness…that’s Est!

AARON WINNING

DEVELOPMENT PARTNER

Talk about someone who knows how to make things happen! ‘Winning’ - as he is affectionately known, has a super sensory flair for getting sh*t done. A master researcher and ‘finder outer’ of all things tech and digital, he has a jawdropping knack for seeing new solutions and ideas. As a business designer, Aaron is an expert in leveraging entrepreneurial skills and qualities in private and non-profit sectors. He has the uncanny ability of tapping into people's hidden talents for one of the most powerful tools in organisational growth and business. Using the brute force of systems, processes, automation, technology and software, tempered with all the empathy and vision of inclusion, Aaron efficiently greases all the wheels of a company for operational, technological and business success and sustainable growth.
