Initiative's Global Head of Client Operations, Hallie Johnston, and Managing Partner, Client Advice & Management, Vilma Vale-Brennan, are no strangers to the power of mentorship. They attribute the rise in their careers to senior leaders who urged them to stretch to the next level before they felt ready to do so. Their relationship actually started and developed through mentorship, a powerful one that grew despite the obstacles presented by COVID-created isolation.
Now that they are in positions to lift others up, Hallie and Vilma look for those who can collaborate and be fluid with the ever-changing waters of the world that impact timetables and responsibilities. Their success is a testament to the ways in which Initiative has built a rich mentorship ecosystem -- one which extends beyond the agency doors and includes partners, vendors and more.
