Case Study: LEAD Network scales women’s mentoring and career growth with Mentorloop

LEAD Network scales mentoring to 400+ pairs with Mentorloop

LEAD Network, a volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to advancing women in the retail and consumer goods sector across Europe, faced significant administrative challenges with its mentoring program. Manual processes using Excel spreadsheets created bottlenecks, making it difficult to scale the program, track outcomes, and provide access to high-quality mentoring for its 25,000 members. To overcome this, they implemented the mentoring software platform from Mentorloop.

By adopting Mentorloop, LEAD Network automated its matching and administration, enabling massive growth. The program scaled from just 8 mentoring pairs in 2016 to over 400 active pairs today, a 200% increase in enrolment. This made mentoring the organization's single largest member offering. Mentorloop provided the tools to track inclusion and engagement, supporting a unique cross-company program that has been instrumental in career growth, with 73% of members reporting professional advancement.
