Esther Mwaniki Email and Phone Number
Welcome to my LinkedIn journey! I am Esther Mwaniki, Founder and CEO of Lapid Leaders Africa, a dynamic organization dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders across Africa. My passion lies in fostering positive change at the intersection of youth empowerment, climate justice, and global collaboration. At Lapid Leaders Africa, we've impacted thousands of young minds, empowering them to be leaders in technology, business, public service, and international development. Our programs bridge the education-employment gap, driving innovation and sustainability.I'm deeply committed to addressing climate challenges globally. Through strategic collaborations and innovative projects, our leaders are making measurable reductions in carbon emissions and raising awareness on climate resilience. I'm proud to be part of a Black Climate Justice movement, working towards solutions that benefit the most impacted communities. Transitioning from a successful corporate career to social transformation, I've excelled at navigating intersections. From leading major mergers at PwC in Kenya and the UK to founding Lapid Leaders Africa, I've honed skills in innovation, collaboration, and advocating for inclusivity in traditionally male-dominated fields.I believe in the power of collaboration and diverse perspectives. Let's connect and explore ways to collaborate on global initiatives, share insights, and drive positive change together. Whether you're passionate about youth empowerment, climate justice, or global leadership, let's create impact!
