amela poglitsch · mentee

my previous mentee reached out to share that she's been hired by a new global company, with both a higher salary and greater responsibilities — exactly what we were aiming to achieve together. i'm very happy for her.

my mentor's deep expertise, guidance in various areas of work/professional life have made a lasting impact on my path, along with her kindness, positive energy and genuine approach to matters. i now approach opportunities with more confidence and clarity.
