Meet the Mentors - Enterprise Ireland

For many years, the Enterprise Ireland Mentor Network has been providing Irish companies (across all sectors) with tailored advice and support, helping to accelerate growth, survive in difficult times and build management capability. Our Mentors are successful senior executives who volunteer to advise companies based on their own business experience. Our Mentors are active and enthusiastic entrepreneurs who’ve sold their businesses or active owner/ managers willing to give something back. Our Mentors don’t offer a passive chat over coffee – they are people who are committed to making a real contribution in our client companies, bringing about change, removing barriers to growth and enabling success.

Our mentors are delighted to work with the David Manley Award winners, where they will play a valuable role in listening, challenging, advising, and helping the award winners focus on the key issues and find solutions to those issues. Through our programme they will benefit from the skills and experience of senior business people who’ve been down a similar road and have encountered the same kind of issues and problems. www.enterprise-ireland.com/mentor

In practical terms, that means we'll position and profile the brand in a way that makes sense to their customers, then outline what they need to do and say in order to win them over and keep them coming back for more.
