Esther (1984, Herk-de-Stad, B) was trained as an engineer-architect and urban planner (both KU Leuven, B). She also specialized in process and project management (Vlerick Business School, B) and enterprise management (SME Challenge, Vlerick Business School, B).

Throughout her career, she has built up extensive experience in both the public and private sectors.
