#6 Mentoring for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with Gyri Reiersen

Make Purpose Work is hosting Gyri Reiersen -
startup founder, AI expert, and a prominent member of
the WEF Global Shapers Munich. Our conversation shows that
mentoring can be a continuous relationship. Gyri's story will
inspire you to embrace the power
of #community, #curiosity, and #courage to
bring your whole self to work. Role modelling the message, Gyri
and her peer Global Shapers co-founded #MentorUp in
2019. It is a mentorship program aimed at early-stage founders to
match them with industry contacts, senior founders, and experts.
The startups selected work on innovative solutions within the
three SDG areas of Health, Environment, and Education.   ️
Gyri is a climate activist, founder, and a CTO of the recently
funded startup #Tanso, and passionate about using technology
and innovation to tackle society's greatest challenges. She holds
an MSc. in Robotics, Cognition, and Intelligence from the TUM and
ETH Zurich and an honors degree from the leading entrepreneurship
program Center for Digital Technology and Management
(CDTM) in Munich. As an active member of the World
Economic Forum's Global Shapers Community, and with work
experience from three continents, she has launched multiple
initiatives to empower founders to tackle climate change,
increase diversity in tech, and break the stigma around mental
health.
