🌎 Social impact

Throughout my career, I've passionately dedicated myself to mentoring and teaching, recognizing the transformative impact it can have on individuals and communities. Through my Teach for America Experience and through my engagement with The Last Mile, I've nurtured the growth of students from diverse backgrounds, guiding them in harnessing design and technology for their future paths. With IDEO, my role as a Design Lead has enabled me to mentor professionals by integrating inclusive and human-centered design principles into learning experiences and leading initiatives like Disarming Whiteness to foster diversity and equity.

I am also an ICF-certified coach, and I have a career and life coaching practice called Alvita Coaching. My coaching practice has three primary offers: Vision & Vitality Coaching, Career Catalyst Coaching, and Next Gen Leadership Coaching (a career coaching program designed for 18-24-year-olds).

What excites me about twenty is that it is a service that I so desperately wished existed when I was in my twenties. The platform’s recognition that professional growth is inextricably linked to personal development resonates deeply with my holistic approach to mentorship. I am eager to be part of a community that doesn’t shy away from the tough, intricate discussions that pave the way for authentic growth and learning.

💻 Startups

💡 Product

🌎 Moving outside the US

I’m Joe, a product manager who has background as an engineer, researcher and designer. I started my career in research, transitioned into consulting and transitioned these skills into product roles at various technology startups.

So far in my professional career, I’ve developed skills that span across product development from strategy, UX research, design and engineering. Having started my career in consulting and then transitioning to high-growth startups, I’ve worked internationally in 4 markets (Indonesia, Turkey, Amsterdam, and the UK) and 6 industries. From these experiences, I’ve strived to work on building meaningful products and experiences while helping create sustainable organizations and impact in local communities.

Aside from a tactical product skillset, my experiences have allowed me to develop as a people manager and leader. I’ve worked at organizations that offer B2B and B2C solutions, across all stages of maturity from seed funding to post-IPO fortune 500 organizations. I’m happy to discuss the nuances to my experiences and how to navigate these environments and advocate for personal growth throughout.

In addition, I currently advise entrepreneurs through my own agency services and as part of the Alter Global network. Outside of work, I love being active physically, socially, and mentally.  I love exploring the ocean - while working at a YC startup in Indonesia, I recently received my master diver certification. Additionally, I have competed in various lengths of Triathlons keeping me busy with training on a weekly basis. I try to stay active in my local communities, serving as a KIPP mentor to low-income high school students.

Who am I? I'm Harry, currently based in Seattle. My journey has led me to the role of Chief of Staff at Quantive, where I've had the privilege to work on scaling operations, driving strategy, and supporting investment activities among other responsibilities. On the side, I’ve started a newsletter focused on my passion for exploring business strategies and investments in the soccer world.

Why am I here? Mentoring holds a special place in my heart because of its transformative power. I believe in the value of good guidance and how it can steer us closer to our aspirations. I would not be where I am today without a mentor who helped me entirely rethink how I was approaching my career. Out of all the skills, degrees, and jobs you can have, I firmly believe it's the people and networks you build that can propel you into a life and career you've always wanted. That’s why I’m here—to offer you the insights I’ve gathered on my own journey and hopefully make your path a little easier to navigate. I'd like to give back to others what my mentor gave to me and help those who are facing the same challenges or questions I had.

Heylo! I’m Sohan Mone. My mission is to deliver infrastructure that expands access and unlocks society’s potential - let’s just say, we have a lot of work that needs doing! I’m a structural engineer by trade and I specialize in rail bridges (high-speed rail, monorail, LRT, and metro-rail). 🚆My background is in seismic engineering and structural dynamics, but I’ve since joined a design-build contractor that focuses on big infrastructure.Today, I can say that I’m a key player in winning lucrative government contracts valued in the billions! I also dabble in scripting and data science as it relates to my role, and have done some freelance work as well.I LOVE what I do… but it wasn’t always this way! Getting to this mindset was a struggle.I believe the 20’s are a time where it’s okay to fail. These years are about exploration, discovery and taking measured risks! It’s about finding out what’s meaningful to you!If you’re not sure what you want to do, or are just feeling unfulfilled - I’ve been there, and I’m all ears!!

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.

Hi, I’m Yumi! I’m a Chinese American born in Venezuela, attended schools there and in China, and finally moving to the U.S. during my teenage year. Having been exposed to 3 different continents at a young age, I’ve taken an interest in learning about how different things work in different cultures. I’ve worked at various industries — art, import/export, non-profit, real estate, retail and tech - mainly in the operations and business development space.

Throughout my 20s, I’ve been very fortunate to have mentors from all walks of life that have pushed me to do better, expanded my worldview, and helped shaped the person I am today. I want to pay it forward and be the mentor that I wished I had when I was 20. Reach out and let me know how I could help!

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.

🚀 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!

🔥 MBA

🙌 Nonprofit

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.
