“I have served as a mentor and mentee and it was extremely gratifying from both perspectives. As a mentee, I had a tremendous experience with a very senior ranking executive that helped make a difference in my career. As a mentor, I received a lot of fulfillment in knowing that I was giving someone insight into their career that they may not have received from anyone else. In the end, I found that information makes a difference.”
