MESA Mentors Have “Been There, Done That”
MESA Mentors are a group of C-level executives with significant experience leading software companies of all sizes and at all stages of growth, and with a shared passion for mentoring. Together, they bring decades of “been there, done that” wisdom and expertise to emerging growth software CEOs. These span driving revenue growth, sales and marketing strategy and execution, leadership team formation and development, overcoming operational challenges, raising capital, building and managing boards, and achieving outstanding liquidity outcomes.
“Mentoring has become a genuinely positive and grounding force in my life. People underestimate how good it feels to help someone else—and to realize that, hey, maybe I do have some wisdom worth sharing.”
—Dustin Bruzenak, MESA Mentor
