Esther Smith is a Global Head of People at IQPC. She possess expertise in leadership, event management, management, new business development, marketing strategy and 28 more skills. She is proficient in English. Colleagues describe her as "Esther was the best Managing Director I have worked for throughout my career in IQPC. Simply put, she led from the front- balancing profitability with a real and genuine heart for her employees. Esther turned around the Singapore business in less than a year as MD, and continued to build Y-o-Y profitability during her tenure. Now any business leader can turn around the business, but what was remarkable was the way she did it- through astute business decisions, communication of a clear vision to the entire workforce and most importantly reinvigorating and re-energizing an otherwise jaded office. Esther not only talked the talk, but walked the walk as well- She was never afraid to have difficult conversations, make difficult decisions with her leaders, nor get in the weeds to ensure we delivered to our clients- and this is something that I will always respect her for. One of Esther's biggest strength is/was people motivation and management- She has this innate ability to mentor and coach her senior management team to achieve results in a way that keeps them inspired, engaged and motivated. And this not only extends to her direct reports, but everyone in the business. Esther would take the time and effort to ensure that everyone in the business was recognised. Her influence and contribution to the business did not stop at her being Managing Director. When she took the role of Global Head of HR within the group, she was responsible for the training and mentoring of high performing leaders and junior MDs within the business, sharing her invaluable insights and coaching all of us. Personally, I have benefitted tremendously from her, and owe much of my success in my career to her." and "Esther is an amazing leader, a mentor and a genuine friend. A leader who is forward-thinking, always pushing boundaries to succeed and encouraging her team to take risks (strategically) where necessary. Esther's ability to build strong bonds, establish trust and insist on excellence contribute to developing a high-performing culture within the organisation. Her emotional intelligence helps her understand what makes her employees tick. She is able to bring out the best out of each individual and drive employee engagement within the organisation. Esther is one of the best leaders I have had the pleasure of working with."
