Meet Ana
FOUNDER | SPEAKER / SENIOR ADVISOR / BOARD MEMBER
Two decades inside Goldman Sachs.
Now redefining power for women at the top
Ana Estrada is an international speaker, senior advisor, and board member – and a former 20-year Goldman Sachs private equity investor and fund CIO who is redefining what leadership looks like for high-performing women in corporate and high-pressure industries.
One of the few women to reach the highest ranks of Goldman Sachs’ global real estate private equity division, Ana served as Global CIO of multi-billion-dollar real estate funds, led major investments across Europe, and sat on the firm’s Global Real Estate Investment Committee and co-led the Global Real Estate Strategy Council. She became known for combining visionary investment strategy with deeply human-centered leadership – recognized with the GRI Europe Award for the Second Most Inspiring Woman in European Real Estate (2024), and featured by Bisnow, GRI Club, and The District.
Ana now channels two decades of global experience into Majesta, a leadership platform built on a clear philosophy: power comes through wholeness, not through leaving parts of yourself behind. Through her speaking, advisory work, and thought leadership, she helps high-performing women strengthen their authority and impact – moving from simply adapting to a system, to shaping it. A multilingual leader and active investor in female-founded ventures, Ana is becoming one of the defining voices in the evolution of modern leadership.
Refuse to Choose: The Future of Sustainable Leadership
How High-Performing Women Can Thrive Without Sacrificing Ambition or Authenticity
Customizable keynote | virtual presentation | half-day workshop
In highly demanding environments, the stakes for retaining and advancing top female talent have never been higher. Yet, the most driven women are often forced to make an impossible choice – excel at work or honour their authentic selves. This relentless “either/or” paradigm leads to burnout, disengagement, and the loss of precisely the leaders organisations need most.
Drawing from my personal journey, I developed the Whole Power Method – a practical approach for those ready to reject false choices and design fulfilling, limitless careers on their own terms.
When women lead as their whole selves, organisations don’t just retain talent – they unleash game-changing innovation, resilience, and sustained results. This is a practical roadmap from someone who has walked the path and helped others rise.
After hearing Ana´s engaging speech,
your audience will:
Identify and break free from the “either/or” myth
Discover the mindset and habits that enable sustainable high performance
Apply the six-step Whole Power Method to build an authentic, ambitious, and resilient career.
Gain tools for designing your own definition of success
Build confidence to challenge outdated models and set new standards of leadership
Leave with a clear, actionable action plan to accelerate both your personal fulfilment and your professional ascent
Every booking is customised to your audience, industry and brief. A 60–90 minute keynote, offsite or virtual. A hands-on workshop can be added.

Ana showed me what authentic leadership in the commercial heartland of private equity actually looks like. I left more confident, more settled in myself and more intentional about how I want to lead.

Thanks to Ana Estrada, I left the room with more clarity about myself as a leader than I'd gained for years — and with simple tools I could put into practice immediately.

Why Ana
Five reasons to put Ana on your stage.
Lived
Your audience will trust her instantly. Ana spent twenty years inside Goldman Sachs — Managing Director, Global Fund CIO, leader of teams navigating the exact pressure your audience lives in every day. She did not build her frameworks in a seminar room. She built them in the arena, tested under real deals, real deadlines, real stakes. When she speaks, your audience is hearing someone who has actually done it, and won.
Practical
Your audience will leave equipped. Ana doesn't deal in vague inspiration. Every talk delivers a framework your audience can name, remember, and use the following Monday morning. Fresh, original concepts, grounded in twenty years of lived expertise, not borrowed research, that expand how your people think and lead.
Inspiring
Your audience will be moved. Ana's story is unlikely, non-linear, and deeply personal — a woman who refused to choose between an extraordinary career and an extraordinary life, and built both. It grounds the room in something real. It inspires other women to believe THERE IS A WAY to succeed in highly demanding environments which also feels joyful and is sustainable. Every audience leaves not just motivated, but ready to lead differently: starting immediately.
Customised
Your audience will feel it was built for them. Ana takes the time to understand your organisation, your people, and what you actually need this talk to achieve. The core framework stays consistent but the stories, examples, and delivery are shaped specifically for your audience and your goals.
Commercial
Your audience will perform better, longer. This is not wellbeing lite. It is a performance strategy. Whole leaders sustain their best work for decades, not years, and they build the kind of engagement in their teams that most organisations are quietly losing right now. Ana's talks don't just energise a room for an afternoon. They shift how your leaders operate long after she has left the stage.
