ABOUT ESRA ILGIN

I’m a Strategy & Insights leader with 25 years of experience helping global organisations make better decisions. I work at the intersection of insight, strategy, and creativity where assumptions get challenged, priorities get set, and direction gets decided.I’ve partnered with global brands including The LEGO Group, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, American Express, Sony Ericsson, and T-Mobile, translating market, consumer, and cultural signals into clear strategic implications. My focus is always upstream: shaping thinking before plans harden, not validating decisions after the fact.Having grown up between Germany, Turkey, and the U.K, I bring a global, pattern-seeking mindset and a bias toward clarity. I’m known for connecting the dots, asking the questions others avoid, and simplifying complexity.I thrive in environments that value honesty, creative ambition, and strong debate, where insight is used as a lever for change.
