Our Methodology
Leadership grows faster across company boundaries. Our programs are built on four principles:
Cross-Company by Design.
No single company can mentor at scale. Participants learn alongside peers and senior leaders from other organizations.
Standardized and Refreshed.
The curriculum is updated with input from across the industry, not from any single company’s perspective.
Enterprise Adoption.
Programs are owned by executives and driven by HR, so they are fully adopted across the organization.
Impact Metrics.
Outcomes are tracked with the same rigor the industry applies to yield. Programs are measured by impact, not participation.
How it works
Each cohort is organized into small Circles, each with a dedicated Lead Mentor, while Guest Mentors rotate across Circles to lead FireChats on specific leadership topics. Over seven months, participants take part in a kickoff, regular FireChats, 1:1 sessions with their mentors, and a Personal Brand workshop that produces a Personal Brand Statement they carry beyond the program. Technical discussions are out of scope, so participants exchange openly across companies without confidentiality concerns. After graduation, the relationships continue through the alumni community.

Program Description
MESH™ is a gender-neutral, cross-company leadership acceleration program for technology professionals, supporting career growth and executive development across the semiconductor and hardware ecosystem. MESH™ launches first in Europe.

Unlike WHM™, which focuses on mid-career women, MESH™ is open to all. It grew out of feedback from European professionals who valued the WHM™ approach and wanted it open to everyone. MESH™ keeps the same proven methodology and 7-month cohort structure, and is designed for multicultural, multilingual teams.
Both programs share a common foundation of strategic leadership development, executive readiness, and cross-company learning, with MESH™ extending this collaborative model to a broader and more diverse audience, starting in Europe. The enterprise edition, MESH-e, brings the program inside a single organization.
