Step Ahead Mentoring: Meet the Mentors!

We are happy to present the Mentors from the different companies that have volunteered to take part in the pilot edition of AmCham’s Step Ahead Mentoring Program. This initiative is the natural continuation of the AmCham Hackathon, designed to build on the strong partnerships and collaborations established in its previous editions. Powered by three leading AmCham member companies – IBM Bulgaria, Kyndryl Bulgaria, and MSD Bulgaria – the program will give students and businesses the opportunity to work together on real-world projects, gain valuable insights, and create lasting professional connections. We extend our sincere thanks to all mentors that will dedicate their time, knowledge, and experience to support the next generation of professionals.
