If you aim to advance in your career from IT professional to tech executive, having a mentor is invaluable. Transitioning from a technical role to a tech exec is extremely challenging without guidance from someone who has already navigated that path. A mentor offers insights, helps develop skills, and guides you towards your goal of becoming a tech executive.

Throughout my tech executive career, I’ve had key mentors who greatly influenced my professional growth.
They guided and supported me, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and shared their wisdom and experiences. Thanks to their support, I developed new skills and quickly advanced in my career to become a tech exec much faster than I could have on my own. I’ve tried to bring this thinking to this blog.
