Rise has revealed its mentor/mentee pairings for 2022, with more women in the media tech industry supporting one another than ever before.
Globally, the 2022 mentoring programme sees a record 97 women set to work with their mentors over the coming months while receiving expertise, knowledge and guidance.
Each pairing will involve 12 hours of one-to-one time with their mentor, the opportunity to meet the mentee group on a monthly basis, as well as attend face-to-face networking events, workshops, and seminars throughout the six-month programme.
Carrie Wootten, managing director of Rise, said: We are elated to announce our expanding Rise mentor and mentee pairings for 2022, especially the launch of North and Central Europe and ANZ this year.
