Emer adds value to any strategic conversation and continues to be a pioneer for young female talent, giving us a voice and growing our confidence at every step of the journey. I will always be grateful to Emer for her unwavering support, thought leadership and constant mentorship throughout my career to date. I know I speak for many talented female leaders when I express my deep gratitude to Emer, she is a massive advocate for all of us in the technology field".

Emer gave me my first career break (opportunity) working in social media for the UK government back in 2013. I reached out to her for career support when she was doing amazing things for the Government Digital Service (GDS). She took a chance on me and gave me some of the best career advice and support anyone has ever given me.

Without her investment in me at that time, I’m not sure I’d be where I am today. Emer is also the kindest and warmest person I have had the privilege to meet and work with. If Emer is offering her skills, experience and knowledge to others, I highly recommend you grab the opportunity. Trust me, she’s that good.

​"With a half-formed sense that Twitter could play a role in supporting women’s development, but no idea how, in August 2012 I went to then head of digital engagement at the Government Digital Service, Emer Coleman. This turned out to be the best possible introduction to Twitter. In just an hour she changed my perceptions, opening my eyes to the opportunities that Twitter offers for affirming, celebrating and connecting people. It was a powerful incentive to step into the world of social media."

"As a women in technology and as a coach, Emer has supported me to raise my game and take up space as well as a bring out a sense of self belief and personal power backed up by her vast career experience and expertise.

Emer is a mind that is far ahead of her time and it is an incredible privilege to have had the opportunity to work with her.​ A word of warning though. If you're not open to challenge and accelerating your growth, then you're not ready for Emer".

"​Like everyone else who's properly interesting it's hard to say exactly what Emer does so let's start with what she is: Someone who actually cares what she's talking about. She won't tell you anything to sell anything. She works on stuff that matters. Someone who can give people confidence - the confidence to open up their organisations and their data, responsibly and well. If you're doing big digital things and you want to nudge the world a little better you should start by talking to Emer".

"Fair to say that my time working with Emer Coleman changed the course of my career. What a lot I learned and what fun I had. A source of so much wisdom and support, and a real champion for women in tech".
