đMake Purpose Work is hosting Gyri Reiersen – startup founder, AI expert, and a prominent member of the WEF Global Shapers Munich. Our conversation shows that mentoring can be a continuous relationship. Gyri’s story will inspire you to embrace the power of #community, #curiosity, and #courage to bring your whole self to work.
đ Role modelling the message, Gyri and her peer Global Shapers co-founded #MentorUp in 2019. It is a mentorship program aimed at early-stage founders to match them with industry contacts, senior founders, and experts. The startups selected work on innovative solutions within the three SDG areas of Health, Environment, and Education.
â¤ď¸ Gyri is a climate activist, founder, and a CTO of the recently funded startup #Tanso, and passionate about using technology and innovation to tackle society’s greatest challenges. She holds an MSc. in Robotics, Cognition, and Intelligence from the TUM and ETH Zurich and an honors degree from the leading entrepreneurship program Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) in Munich. As an active member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community, and with work experience from three continents, she has launched multiple initiatives to empower founders to tackle climate change, increase diversity in tech, and break the stigma around mental health.
