Member Success Story

Carl Guarino, CEO, Wizehive; Mentor Connect Mentor

“Mentor Connect has been important to me on several levels: I enjoy the networking with some of the region's most accomplished CEOs/entrepreneurs who participate as mentors in the program; I love getting briefed on up-and-coming companies and founders/ ceo's in the area who are admitted into the program; and I really find working with capable and committed CEOs in a trusted/mentoring relationship very rewarding. As an unexpected benefit, I have discovered that helping other CEOs with the core issues they face - and hearing the input of fellow mentors - also provides me with valuable perspective I can come back and utilize in the Company I lead.”
