Sneha S.
📈 Marketing, sales, & business
Hi, I’m Sneha. I’m from Bangalore (a city in India) and I relocated quite a bit within Asia (starting in my mid twenties) before making Dubai, home, at least for now.I started my career in the field of Supply Chain in the automotive sector, moved to apparel and I’ve been a while in the food and beverage industry. I’ve worked my way through the different echelons of the value chain, across geographies before making a pit stop to develop sustainable Supply Chain strategies for the “East” region (Russia, Poland, Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe) within the International Zone of my company.Outside of work, I’m usually seen working on projects around the house (my mini goal for the year). All this apart from just enjoying the silence, playing and cuddling my 3 year old cat and exploring bit by bit of the world around me.Why Mentoring? Early on in my career, I understood the value of a good mentor and I stuck to my practice of getting a mentor everywhere I went cause I needed direction.Since I didn’t want to keep all that valuable knowledge, I started looking for opportunities to give back: I started with Wedu where I was part of their mentor program - a program which provides assistance for young women from South East and South Asia moving into university by guiding them in areas where they require guidance. I moved on and worked with Unherd India by providing a GirlsInSTEM program - a program for young girls between the age of 14 - 20 helping them understand a bit more about Supply Chains and Manufacturing and the basic skills required to make a career in the field.I’m with twenty now, hoping to help you navigate your twenties, just like so many helped me navigate mine, making it a journey of immense learning and growth, for which I’m tremendously grateful.

I’m Nick! I grew up in Southern California, went to Stanford University to compete on the Track & Field team (and learn something).
I transitioned into working at software startups (B2B SaaS) in the SalesOps and RevOps world.
I lived in San Francisco and the SF Bay Area for 7+ years.
I have lived in New York City (Brooklyn!) for 4 years (as of late 2023).
I’m always looking to learn and grow.
My core values are listed on my LinkedIn for the world to see (PDF Linked).
I don’t take myself too seriously. I think life is about being fun and playful, showing love, doing the right thing, and finding ways to be fulfilled across dimensions.

🚀 Engineering
Hey Twenty Peeps! I'm Amari - a Chicago native, currently living in Boston where I'm getting my MBA and MS in Engineering. Prior to grad school, I worked in the automotive industry - mostly in various manufacturing environments, focused on process improvement.
Outside of work, I try to be active in my community. As a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and member and past national/regional leader in the National Society of Black Engineers, I’ve spent much time creating various opportunities for underrepresented minorities to excel in any way they can, both personally and professionally .
If I’m not in class or leading a club or volunteering in the community, you can probably find me somewhere chatting with someone about sneakers, or the most recent Black owned business I’ve discovered and plan to support.
Post-grad school, I hope to enter the retail industry and continue focusing on process improvement with the long-term goal of finding ways to help small business build resilient supply chains to ensure their long-term success.
For now though, I'd love to chat with you! Hit me up if you want to talk about being first-gen, an introvert or a minority engineer. I’m also happy to discuss applying to business school, handling rejection from your dream school or reapplying to school. If we have some time left over during our call, I’m also happy to chat about the latest sneaker drops or your fav small business to support!

💻 Startups
I would say that I have full 2 time jobs: 1) my "9-5" as a designer/creative at an ed-tech startup and 2) full time mom to my cat Pancake! I'm excited to be mentoring on Twenty because I wish I had something like this when I was navigating life in my early 20s. Looking forward to paying it forward and hopefully passing on some wisdom along the way too.

Hello mentees!
I am a French-Lebanese national who was raised in Beirut. I’ve worked in both architecture and tech, and recently relocated to the United States to pursue an MBA at Harvard Business School.
I am originally trained as an architect and designer, I have worked two years at in the architecture studio Renzo Piano Building Workshop. I soon transitioned to the tech scene and worked in a growing Construction Tech startup from Seed to Series B. As you can imagine, working in a seed stage startup means that I wore different hats (I know you’ve heard that phrase a lot), from sales to product management, and ended up settling on marketing. In parallel, I’ve also founded a non-profit, which targets my home country. It grew to become an initiative hub with over 100 volunteers, and has been at the forefront of the relief efforts in the country.
I am very excited to be part of Twenty’s team of mentors, and guide you as you navigate your 20s. My sisters are at this exact stage of their lives, and I see how little guidance they are being provided. I truly enjoy helping them as they embark on new challenges, and I look forward to doing this with you as well.

Geraldine P.
😎 Consulting
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and moved to Katy, TX in High School. I studied Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M and then moved to LA. I then worked in Operations for New Product Development Edwards Lifesciences, a heart valve company. I am very passionate about the healthcare space and love having the opportunity to make a difference for patients.
The most impactful part of my career was having incredible mentors that I looked up to, could bounce ideas off of and that had my best interests in mind when giving me advice. I truly believe my career would not be the same without having had their support. I also have had life coaches that have been an incredible influence in both my personal and professional lives and would love the opportunity to pay it forward.
At work I was a manager to 5 engineers and a mentor to an additional 4. Helping others find their full potential and help them create a development plan for their careers was one of the things I enjoyed most at my job. I continue to act as their mentor even though I left the company, as I believe in the importance of having that continuity, plus I also get to learn a lot from them.
Eduardo L.
I was born and raised in Mexico City. I studied Finance in one of Mexico´s top schools. Professionally, I jumped from corporate finance at a global consumer company, to investment banking at a leading global bank, to private equity and venture capital at the World bank before I figured out what I love. I currently work for an e- logistics startup were I have found the intelectual challenge of building the Strategic Finance department from the ground up. I am aiming to finish the year with 10 people in my team, up from just myself 4 months ago.
Personally, I recently got married after dealing with a long distance relationship. There were tough times, but I can say that it has worked out and I could not be happier.
As for Twenty, I loved the idea of mentoring for Twenty because it is a resource that I would have love to have when I first started my personal and professional journey as a young professional.
I am passionate about chess, soccer and Formula 1. Fluent in Spanish and English.

I spent my twenties living in the constant flux of trying to find a direction that felt like it was truly "mine", while also doing my best to be intentional about accelerating my growth. I saw tremendous personal and professional growth during this time. I'm really happy that I spent my time exploring multiple domains - I worked in academia as a researcher, I tried starting a company (and learned a lot when it didn't work out), I switched careers, and finally landed on a path that I fell in love with. In my personal life, I ended a 7-year relationship, juggled old and new friends constantly moving cities, found my person, got married and moved between multiple cities. I'm lucky to have had a lot of help from incredible mentors along the way, and I would love to help in whatever way that I can.
Becca R.
I’m a nomad (I’ve lived in 3 countries and 4 states), career transitioner (former neuroscientist now working in tech), and lifelong learner (3 degrees and counting). For the last 5 years I’ve been working in educational technology, and I've spent my free time doing community outreach related to career transitions, largely focused on early career researchers—my former cohort.
This program excites me because it's something that I wish I'd had in my 20s. My experience as a twenty-something was nothing like my parents—my dad was a solider in Vietnam and my mom got married at 21—they both worked in stable office jobs that they each held for 20+ years. I, on the other hand, went to college to study science, which led to a pretty unstable, nomadic lifestyle. I didn't have any adults in my life growing up who had an experience even close to this, so I received very little (or relevant) guidance from anyone. This has led me to take the "long-way" round (several times) only to find out later that there was a better way.
While making mistakes and learning from failure is a staple of life, I would like to use my learning experiences to help younger individuals know about as many of the choices available to them as possible. I recently heard the phrase "lift as you climb", and I think that being a mentor at Twenty will help me lift others—even if only one step at a time.
Outside of work and mentoring, I’m going to school (again!) for an executive MBA to shore up my business skills. My free time is mostly spent hanging out with my two cats (Mick and Oscar), enjoying the performing arts (I love theater and standup), and learning to be a better artist (I’m taking a linocut class soon that I’m really excited about).
Sonya S.
I’m a first-generation Indian American with a mashup of Southern manners (born and partially raised in Tennessee) and West coast values (moved to the Bay Area, CA for middle and high school). After high school, I went to Boston for undergrad and stayed for a couple years after before coming back to the Bay. And soon, I’ll be moving Seattle!
Like many undergrads, I started college wanting to be a doctor. I stuck with it all the way through taking the MCAT, nose to the grindstone, before realizing that I wasn’t actually interested in 7+ more years of training. After some reflection, I landed in management consulting for biotech, where I worked for a few years before transitioning to my current role in public health. The thread of science/healthcare has remained throughout my career, but I’ve had the privilege of being exposed to many different roles by working as or working with VC, hedge funds, research/academia, pharma and biotech, and private and public industry.
When I’m not working, I…
I always found that some of the best advice I received was from people who were my peers or only a few years ahead of me. It felt like a low-stakes way to get advice and ask "dumb" questions of people who understood where I was coming from. I’ve sought advice from all avenues—colleagues, family members, friends, strangers on the internet, and even DMs to cool people on LinkedIn. It’s time for me to pass on some of what I’ve learned 🙂

I’m excited to help you find your voice, your platform for beliefs and self-confidence in a shifting and challenging world.

I’m originally from Tampa, Florida, where I grew up surrounded by family (I have an identical twin and two other siblings). I went to school at UNC Chapel Hill, which I absolutely loved, where I majored in Business and minored in Journalism. The desire to explore the intersection of business, creativity and technology led me to a career in marketing. I also love photography as a creative outlet, so you can check out my work here: https://www.hannah-smith-photography.com/
