The Team
Who We Are
Don Francis
Founder & CEO
Women’s Health, Menopause & Intimate Wellbeing Specialist
For many women, the physical changes that accompany childbirth, hormonal transition and menopause are experienced quietly—even while they continue leading businesses, teams and families.
Dr Sarah Jenkins is working to change that.
An MBBCh-qualified medical doctor, she specialises in women’s health, menopause medicine, pelvic wellbeing and advanced aesthetic treatments.
She is an internationally recognised expert and master trainer in cosmetic gynaecology and a Senior Member of the European Society of Aesthetic Gynaecology.
Her work supports women experiencing concerns including hormonal imbalance, genitourinary symptoms of menopause, urinary leakage, painful intercourse, recurrent urinary tract infections and changes affecting intimate confidence and quality of life.
Dr Sarah’s commitment to advancing women’s health earned her the Safety in Beauty Diamond Award in 2024 and a Menopause in Aesthetics Award in 2025. Her expertise has been featured across national television and media, including:
ITV’s This Morning · Women & Home · Closer · HELLO! · Yahoo · Take a Break
At The Woman Who Leads the Room, Dr Sarah brings medical authority to a conversation rarely given space within leadership environments: what happens when a woman’s body changes, but the expectations placed upon her do not.
She will help women better understand their bodies, recognise concerns that should not be dismissed and feel more confident advocating for the care they need.
Because sustained leadership begins with a woman who feels heard, informed and in control of her health.

ESTHER EMENIKE-OKORIE
Skin Confidence, Skin of Colour and Pigmentation Expert
For women in leadership, visibility is part of the role. They are expected to enter rooms, address audiences, meet clients and lead with confidence—even when changes in their skin affect how comfortable they feel being seen.
Esther Emenike-Okorie understands that these concerns are never merely superficial.
She is an internationally trained Independent Nurse Prescriber and Aesthetic Dermatology Nurse Practitioner, with specialist expertise in skin of colour, acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
As the founder of Shujo Aesthetics Skin Clinic and Training Academy, Esther has created a clinically grounded alternative to trend-led aesthetics. Working within a CQC-registered clinical setting and registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, she places proper assessment, patient education and long-term skin health before treatment.
Her approach is particularly important for women with melanin-rich and pigmentation-prone skin, where standard treatment protocols can require careful adaptation to avoid inflammation, worsening pigmentation or damage to the skin barrier.
Alongside treating patients, Esther trains other practitioners—sharing the specialist knowledge required to deliver safer, more informed and ethically responsible outcomes across diverse skin tones.
Her expertise includes:
Skin of colour · Hyperpigmentation · Melasma · Acne · Post-acne pigmentation · Skin rejuvenation · Regenerative aesthetics · Natural-looking facial enhancement
At The Woman Who Leads the Room, Esther will explore the connection between skin, visibility and confidence in leadership.
Because when a woman is experiencing acne, pigmentation or changes in her appearance, the impact can extend far beyond the mirror. It can affect whether she wants to be photographed, speak publicly, attend important events or occupy professional spaces with the confidence she once carried naturally.
Esther’s contribution is not about chasing perfection or changing a woman’s identity. It is about understanding her skin, making safe and informed choices and helping her feel comfortable being fully seen.
Because confidence is not vanity.
For a woman who leads, it can shape how she enters the room—and how freely she takes her place within it.
