Isaac on mentorship<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\n <\/path>\n<\/svg>

Mentoring is a passion for me. I am always excited by opportunities to mentor, inspire, and learn from others; from interns to developer\/startup communities in Africa. Personally, I have benefited immensely from having mentors who have played a critical role in helping me navigate various aspects of my career. I have come to believe strongly in the following statement by Isaac Newton: “If I have seen farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants”. I want to give others similar opportunities as I was given.\n <\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some topics I\u2019m excited to mentor students in include:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Product management<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Technology information systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Business leadership, strategy, and communications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Entrepreneurship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Favorite book:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I love reading audiobooks, and usually aim to read an average of one book a week. Some of my best books in recent times have been: Loonshots by Safi Bahcall, The Prosperity Paradox by Clayton M. Christensen, Unshakeable by Tony Robbins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
