Your Vision, My Guidance, Our Success

Achieving success with honest, insightful mentoring

With extensive mentoring experience across diverse countries, cultures, and backgrounds, I guide you to gain a fresh perspective and find a clear path forward. I assist you in navigating the industry you’re penetrating. My inquisitive approach and thoughtful questions ensure you maximise the value of our time together.

I’m mentoring Hanane Bader as part of the Fall 2024 Big.Ass.Kids Mentorship Programme, designed to help young professionals develop their skills in the music industry.

The programme runs for 16 weeks, during which interns work on projects, receive feedback, and present their work to industry leaders.

My role includes monthly 1:1 mentoring sessions, offering feedback on Hanane’s projects, and reviewing her final presentation. The goal is to provide her with guidance, insights, and support as she gains valuable experience in the field.

HEMI Incubator Mentor since 2022  

HEMI (Hub for the Exchange of Music Innovation) Incubator is a music business training programme supporting music entrepreneurs and companies across nine countries: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia. The programme helps music professionals and young entrepreneurs develop their businesses or create new projects.

HEMI Incubator offers tailor-made business consultancy to help music professionals define or adjust their goals. It has created connections between professionals and key players in the music industry.

Since 2022, I have had the honour of mentoring nine HEMI mentees, enriching my experience in the mentoring field and expanding my expertise within the (tech) startup community. This journey has provided me with invaluable insights and opportunities, and I appreciate all I’ve gained from it.

I currently sit on the HEMI Advisory Board.

"Mandy has been a fabulous mentor during my participation in the Keychange program of 2023. She provided invaluable guidance, helping to clarify ideas while I discovered how to balance work and parenthood. Her understanding and enthusiasm created a supportive environment where sharing was effortless, and her advice was both insightful and empowering.
