I’m Esther Jackson-Stowell, CEO of Ekot Group, building a portfolio across
real estate, home services, and software from Utah. Woman-owned. Operator, not a spectator.

The Story
I build companies that make everyday work run better.
As CEO of Ekot Group, I lead a portfolio of service and software businesses built
on one belief: the unglamorous industries (cleaning, home services, real estate, operations) are exactly where good management and technology create outsized returns.
We started where most people don’t look. Wasatch Cleaners is a residential cleaning
company we run like a tech company: real scheduling software, real customer portals, real data. The systems we built to run it became good enough to sell, so we turned them into
Tidumo. Alongside it, Akovex is our operations platform tying the pieces together.
I’m not an investor watching from a distance. I’m in the business, building
the process, hiring the team, and answering the phone when it matters.
The flywheel: Wasatch creates the operational pain and the data.
Tidumo turns it into a product. Akovex standardizes how it runs. Ekot Group builds and buys the next one.

Where it all began, and still runs deep.
Before the software, there was real estate. As founder of Ekot Properties and Ekot Real
Estate, I’ve spent 15+ years helping people buy, sell, manage, and invest. Building durable wealth through property, with an operator’s eye for the details. Today, my teams manage hundreds of units across Utah and California.

The Broker’s Table
A podcast and media brand on entrepreneurship, deals, and the real mechanics of building, the honest conversations I wish I’d had earlier, with operators and founders.
I’m a contributing author of The Not-So-Secret Lives of Real
Mormon Wives, a collection of true, unfiltered stories from women of faith
living full, complicated, purpose-driven lives.
My chapter is about resilience, identity, and building a life of meaning without leaving
your convictions at the door, the same thread that runs through everything I build.
Before any title, I’m a wife and a mother. Everything I build is in service of a
bigger idea: that you can hold faith, family, and ambition at the same time, and
thrive in all three.
My mission is simple: to empower people to uncover their innate gifts and use them to
create financial and personal freedom, while making a positive impact in the lives of others.
Faith first, grounded, resilient, unafraid to lead from conviction.
Family & foster care, opening our home and raising the next generation.
Community & women in business, lifting others as we rise.
Generational legacy, building things meant to outlast us.
The Broker’s Table
“The best conversations happen at the table, where deals, faith, and real life meet.”
Honest conversations with operators, founders, and dealmakers, the version nobody
puts in the highlight reel.
Named to the Women to Watch feature for building serious companies in overlooked industries, from real estate to home services to software.
