The Her World Mentorship Programme 2024 officially kicks off

Empowering women has always been at the heart of Her World’s mission. In a world where talent is everywhere, mentors are essential in providing guidance and fostering growth in young women. This year, in the 2nd edition of the Her World Mentorship Programme, we have focused on guiding women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). We received 450 mentee applications, after which we carefully shortlisted candidates and conducted interviews to match them with the most suitable mentors based on their interests and aspirations.

The launch event of the Her World Mentorship Programme 2024 took place this July at The Great Room, our experiential venue partner. The official beauty partner of the programme is Clé de Peau Beauté.

At the event, our editor-in-chief, Elizabeth Lee, and contributing features editor, Karishma Tulsidas, explained more about the Mentorship Programme and thanked the inspirational women for supporting the initiative. 

The nine female professionals who have dedicated their time and wisdom as mentors of Her World’s mentorship programme include:

1. Jessica Fun, managing director of Shiseido Singapore
2. Michelle Khoo, center leader of Deloitte Center for the Edge, Southeast Asia
3. Lynette Tan, head of Singapore Space and Technology, and Space Faculty
4. Grace Clapham, director and founder of Designing Communities, Untam3d, and co-founder of The Change School
5. Peta Latimer, president of Mercer Asia
6. Angela Toy, partner and COO at Golden Gate Ventures
7. Lee Hui Li, managing director at Microsoft Singapore
8. Anna Haotanto, founder and CEO at Zora Health
9. Carolyn Chin-Parry, digital innovation leader for PwC

The nine professionals have been matched with a total of fourteen mentees. At the event, both the mentors and mentees were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and what they hope to gain from the mentorship experience.

Thereafter, the mentors and mentees broke into smaller groups to connect with each other for the first time and the energy in the room was electric. In the next six months, they are encouraged to meet at least 3 times to make the most out of the mentorship programme.

The event was also graced by representatives from the Young Women’s Leadership Connection (YWLC), a leading platform that supports young women leaders aged 21 to 35.

The Her World Mentorship Programme in 2023 was an incredible success, bringing immense value to our mentees. We’re eagerly looking forward to the growth that this year’s mentees will gain from the mentorship programme.
