Ma. (Mae) Emma Ester L. Sabio

With experience in executive management, strategic communications, government affairs, policy development, business development, stakeholder engagement, and event and project management, I have worked across government, corporate, and nonprofit sectors—handling negotiations, media relations, legislative initiatives, and organizational strategy. I have held an advisory role at the United Nations and permanent positions in the Philippine Congress, contributing to global and legislative initiatives, including international parliamentary conferences and diplomatic collaborations. As Project Coordinator at the Mustard Seed Foundation (EU Tech), I oversaw development aid projects across Asia and Africa, working closely with engineers, local communities, and nonprofit partners. I integrated AI into project coordination to improve efficiency, enhance data analysis, and support informed decision-making. My consultancy work also includes guiding expatriate executives in global mobility and advising on investment and development strategies in the energy and renewable energy sectors. Having traveled extensively throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the United States, I've developed a strong sense of cultural awareness and global context. These experiences have deepened my understanding of governance, diplomacy, and cross-border collaboration—enabling me to navigate diverse environments, build international partnerships, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities. I specialize in public affairs, crisis communication, and stakeholder management, with a focus on policy development, managing public perception, and fostering collaboration across sectors to align government, business, and international objectives. 1.
