About this session

Great leadership is not just about managing people. It is about building trust, making better decisions, communicating clearly, and helping others do their best work. This MentorCruise session is designed to support professionals who want to grow into stronger leaders, whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to become more effective in an existing role.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to navigate real leadership challenges and develop a clearer sense of your style, strengths, and growth areas. Together, you can work through topics like communication, delegation, feedback, team dynamics, decision-making, and executive presence. The goal is to help you lead with more confidence, self-awareness, and effectiveness in the situations that matter most.

Your mentor

I've spent 15+ years operating at the intersection of technical depth and organizational complexity, leading without always having formal authority, influencing across cultures, managing up through ambiguity, and delivering results across 35+ countries and 300+ companies.

At Microsoft, I navigate large matrixed structures, drive strategic initiatives, and coach customers through high-stakes transformations, all while building credibility and presence in a competitive, global environment.

My approach to leadership is entirely practical: no frameworks for the sake of frameworks. I focus on what's actually happening in your role: how you communicate, where your decisions slow down, how you show up under pressure, and what patterns might be quietly limiting your impact. I draw on real situations I've faced and observed, including delegation breakdowns, stakeholder misalignment, team motivation, and building influence without a title.

Whether you're stepping into your first leadership role, trying to expand your scope, or navigating a difficult team or organizational dynamic, I'll help you build sharper self-awareness and leave with tools you can apply immediately.

He has an ear for everything: he listens to what I say, and also to what sits underneath it, the doubts, the half-formed ideas, the questions I haven’t yet found words for. What sets him apart is how structurally he thinks. Where I see a tangle of problems, he sees a framework, and he navigates complex thoughts with a calm clarity that makes them manageable. He doesn’t hand over quick answers. He teaches you how to think about a problem, which is exactly what I needed while moving from e-commerce analytics into the private sector. Since we started, I approach my work more deliberately, I’m more confident in my direction, and I have a clearer picture of the long game I want to build in data analytics. If you want a mentor who combines real listening with real structure, I can’t recommend Amine enough.”

I initially joined the mentorship to get help me technically prepare for a Microsoft Azure certification. Before and during our first meeting Amine took the time to understand my situation, my experience, and the direction I wanted to move in From there, he helped me define short-term and medium-term goals and create a weekly plan, exceeding the technical help including upskilling, career growth, and even personal development. Another bigger area where Amine is helping me with, besides technical advise, is personal and psychological, guiding me to better understand my own achievements and how to communicate them, and also to improve how I present my experience with a clearer career story and with confidence. We are working on my resume and later on my Linkedin profile, he provided valuable support to understand the current job market and apply his advise to help me get more interviews. I truly enjoyed working with him and would definitely continue learning from him in the future. I highly recommend Amine to anyone looking for Technical upskilling and advice, but also job search and career guidance to clearly define goals and achieve them. ”
