“I really couldn’t be more thankful for this platform and for getting my hands dirty on the good cause of empowering women in the industry. If there are any more events to attend I will be there. ”
“I want to thank the Essteem team for the great presentation with Candice Savino. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from someone in a position of considerable influence at a noteworthy start-up.”
“This event was wonderful. Innovative idea and software. Networked with amazing women. Hope there will be another event soon. Thank you for holding it.”
“KeepWOL and Essteem are hosting a fun game night for women in tech - the ideal opportunity to connect, collaborate and celebrate each other in a fun, virtual environment.”

Client References
“We hosted and co-developed the first Essteem Equalithon at Nasdaq. This helped position the Nasdaq brand with women in tech. Our teams were involved as mentors and are looking forward to renewing the experience!”
“We support diversity and inclusion at Clorox DTC, because it’s the right thing to do. Anyone who has a passion for technology should have access to it. It seems like a lot of companies need to justify diversity & inclusion from a business standpoint, and forget that it’s just the right way to treat PEOPLE. [...] Clorox is driven by the value of “Do the right thing”, and a focus on people, both the consumers we serve and the employees that help us do it. Both of those things leads to diversity and inclusion.”
