About this session
Career growth rarely happens by accident. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you build a clearer roadmap for where you want to go next and how to get there. Whether you are aiming for a promotion, preparing for a bigger role, or feeling stuck in your current position, this session helps you turn broad ambition into a practical career strategy.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to define your next step, identify the skills and signals that matter, and create a plan for making progress inside your current company or beyond it. Together, you can assess your strengths, spot gaps, map out promotion criteria, and think through how to build visibility, ownership, and momentum over time. The goal is to leave with more clarity, better direction, and a concrete plan to move your career forward with intention.
Your mentor
As a hiring manager, coach, and product leader with over a decade of experience across Deloitte, NavVis, and EdTech, I’ve helped PMs, designers, and analysts grow into Heads of Product, platform leads, and strategic operators.
In this session, we’ll zoom out from job titles and focus on your career architecture—mapping your next move based on your values, skills, ambitions, and the story you want to tell. Whether you’re mid-transition, eyeing a promotion, or unsure how to position yourself, this is a structured and reflective deep dive.
I typically run these sessions in early mornings (CET) or mid-afternoons. Feel free to send me a short note about where you’re at so we can maximize the time together.
