In 2024 was launched a highly value-adding and innovative initiative in the MBA International, AUEB, the i-MBA Mentoring Program. It connects final-semester students with top-tier mentors — from C-level executives to seasoned entrepreneurs — for focused, one-on-one guidance. Over three personalized sessions, students gain deep industry insights, sharpen their soft skills, expand their networks, and receive tailored advice to accelerate their professional journey.
Our students raved about the first cycle of the Mentoring Program:
“This experience has been incredibly rewarding, offering both practical insights and strategic guidance that have greatly enriched my learning journey.”
“I left each session with a deeper understanding of how to navigate complex decision-making processes in dynamic business environments.”
“The meetings were very productive and truly useful. This is a great benefit of the MBA program!”
“My Mentor was an invaluable source of guidance, always willing to share knowledge, positive constructive feedback, and support my professional growth.”
Whether our final-term students are exploring a career pivot, aiming to grow their confidence as leaders, or seeking an insider’s edge in their industry, this program delivers the clarity and direction to help them thrive.
This unique initiative, where ambition meets experience, doesn’t just educate — it elevates, thus creating a strategic advantage to the i-MBA students, complementing Career Counselling activities and the Personal Skills Development program.
Following initial ideas discussed with members of the i-MBA Business Advisory Council, especially Stathis Loizos, Dr. Emmanuel Alexandrakis and Spiros Raptis, who also act as Mentors, the program was structured and developed with the professional support of our Career Development Manager Ioanna Tranou, and Anastasia Marinopoulou, International Lean Transformation and Leadership Consultant, and also a Mentor in the program. Special thanks to all of you!
We express our warmest thanks to all the mentors: Vassilis Antoniades, Dr. Emmanuel Alexandrakis, Panayotis Gezerlis, Nick Gonios, Eftichia Kasselaki, Alexandra Kokkini, Stathis Loizos, Konstantinos Macheras, Anastasia Marinopoulou, Panos Marras, Giannis Papadopoulos, Maria Patakiouti, Spiros Raptis and Carlo Saias.
We look forward to continuing the collaboration with all mentors and further evolve and enhance this great Mentoring Program!
