Read about D&I experiences
“Over the past 18 months Emma at Mentore has been invaluable in helping us to shape our plans to increase the number of women in leadership positions at Sky, and more broadly through the work we have been doing with the Women’s Business Council. Emma’s market knowledge, experience and advice, helped us to very quickly pull together a programme of activity that responds to industry research, suits Sky and is driving real impact (an increase of 7% points within 18 months). She is well-connected, pragmatic and extremely responsive, making it a pleasure to work with her.”

“The work has further enabled us to unlock the power of our organisation through helping us navigate a Reverse Mentoring Pilot Programme. The success of our pilot, where candidates from our Employee Resource Groups nominated themselves to mentor members of our EMEA Executive team was both inspiring and enlightening. We will now roll the programme out to a wider group on a sustained basis.”
