It’s been such a joy having Sophie (Senior Partner at Linklaters) as my mentor. It’s the faith and potential she sees in me that gives me the confidence to venture into uncharted grounds, knowing the support systems are in place to catch me if I fall.

I was matched with Andrew Khoo who was then Director for ABR Holdings. I was looking to grow Adrenalin and needed guidance to reach to our next stage of growth. Being mentored by Andrew helped to clarify our plans and gave us a good sounding board to stress test our ideas. For instance, Andrew helped us to refine our pitch deck which eventually led to our second round of funding.
