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.
We are grateful to our sponsors for their significant investment and support, and of course, the mentors.
