About The Guest:
Alister Esam trained as an Actuary, sought a way to escape a career he found boring. Feeling trapped, he bootstrapped eShare, a SaaS business, and discovered that was far from providing freedom. He exited that business to a multibillion-dollar organization but not before figuring out how to escape the trap he had created. His new mission in life is to solve what he sees as an endemic problem in business, work just doesn’t work. His book The Dirty Word addresses the way we disregard creativity and disempower individuals as we scale businesses. He is an investor and mentor to 12 start-up companies and runs a SaaS peer group where tech companies meet monthly to solve each other’s business issues.
