Women need access. Access to the right people and the right conversations. The kind of guidance that goes beyond building careers, it's about building a community of women supporting women.
That's why we created the BrandedU Mentorship Program.
And today, we're inviting companies to register their women as mentees for 2026.
Imagine your talent walking into a room full of experienced leaders who look like them, who've faced what they face and who are ready to share everything they know.
That's what this program delivers. And this year we are organizing three powerful in-person events. It’s a cross-company mentorship and a network they'll carry with them for life.
The first session is on 13 April at Adyen, Amsterdam.
Don't let another year pass without investing in the women who are shaping the future of your organisation.

This is what happens when visibility becomes a movement.
Rooms filled with women who are done playing small.
Allies who choose to show up.
Conversations that shift careers.
BrandedU exists for one reason: to make women impossible to ignore.
Because when women are seen, they rise.
And when they rise, entire organizations change.
This is not just an event.
It’s a catalyst.

Hard work is not the problem.
Most women in our community are already exceptional!
The problem is access to advocacy.
Mentorship gives you perspective, confidence and strategy.
Sponsorship gives you influence in rooms you’re not in.
At BrandedU, our Mentorship Program is more than career advice.
It’s cross-company connection.
It’s senior leaders sharing lived experience.
It’s visibility inside and across organizations.
And when women are visible to the right people, sponsorship naturally follows.
If you’re serious about growth, this is where it starts.

The strongest leaders are shaped in honest exchanges, in shared stories, in moments where perspective shifts.
The BrandedU Mentorship Program creates space for that kind of growth. Real connection. Real expansion for both mentor and mentee.
This is where leadership deepens.
Ready to step in? See you on April 13th - Registrations are open at the link in bio.
