Mentors

Our mentors are successful senior students and GSB graduates who have been through the same challenges you are facing now. They are not theorists but practitioners: finalists of case competitions, recipients of offers from leading companies, founders of projects. Find your mentor and book your first consultation. This is an informal and confidential one-on-one conversation where you can ask any question without judgment.
