We offer mentoring – from high-potential to senior leadership women who need specific support as we continue to increase female representation in leadership roles.

The HP Women Mentoring Program has been an incredible journey of growth. Guided by my mentor, I learned not only to strengthen leadership skills but also to value the social and diplomatic aspects of influence. Presenting the WhiteField project showed me my potential as a leader, and I now feel more supported, confident, and ready for strategic challenges.

The program helped me strengthen my voice, clarify my goals, and connect with others working toward impactful change. My mentor — an experienced and thoughtful leader — supported me in articulating my ambitions more clearly and challenged me to think beyond my current role. Through our conversations, I learned to frame ideas in a more structured way, which gave me the framework to initiate concrete strategic discussions with other members of the Board and our Managing Director

Looking ahead, I want to continue growing — not just in responsibility, but in impact. My goal is to drive meaningful progress and develop innovative concepts that support the growth of our group across regions. I believe collaboration, curiosity, and cross-market learning are key to that vision.
To anyone considering this program: say yes. It’s a powerful opportunity to reflect, grow, and connect — and to take confident steps toward the leader you’re meant to become.
