Esther Pearson has been working in the charity sector for 20 years. Initially inspired by her volunteer work in Devon charities, Esther was supported by her employer and their corporate social responsibility policy to use her private sector marketing skills for the good of charities. After developing her marketing and fundraising skills working in London for national charities, Esther returned to the South West and has worked in employed, volunteer and freelancing roles to progress the work of various charities through strategy development, income generation, project management and recruiting and managing good people. She rose to the position of Chief Executive Officer for a national charity and sport governing body in 2010 and has continued her passion for health and wellbeing and the outdoors sector in her work as Director of the South West Coast Path.
