Anna Itkin

I am interested in mentoring because I believe in the power of guidance to accelerate both personal and professional growth. Throughout my career, I have benefited from the insights and support of mentors, and I want to pass that forward by helping others navigate challenges, identify opportunities, and develop their unique strengths.
My focus areas include sustainable development, systems thinking, and innovation, with particular emphasis on social entrepreneurship. I am passionate about helping individuals who are committed to creating social impact through business, bridging the gap between ideas and superior value creation through impact-led management practices and business models, especially in climate solutions and responsible investment.

I mentor because it’s a way for me to give back to the startup ecosystem and support the entrepreneurs who are shaping the future with impactful ventures.
By working closely with emerging businesses, I not only help them navigate their challenges but also get exposure to new industries and innovative ideas, which I find personally enriching.
Mentoring also aligns with my goals of exploring new investment opportunities and scouting for potential advisory or board roles. It’s a powerful way to create meaningful connections, both for myself and the organization I represent, ensuring that we remain actively engaged in the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship and innovation.
