Tina Fox, Founder and CEO of TERN Mentoring, which has developed a new, integrated software platform to enhance and improve the mentoring experience joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Tina Fox discuss the following:
- You’ve described yourself as an ‘accidental entrepreneur.’ Can you take us back to that pivotal moment that sparked the creation of TERN Mentoring—and how it changed the trajectory of your life?
- After 22 years in corporate sales and leadership, what lessons from that world helped—or hindered you — when you started building a tech company focused on mentorship?
- TERN Mentoring isn’t just a platform—it’s a movement. What makes your approach to mentorship different, and why is now the moment for colleges, universities, and companies to get serious about scaling it?
- You’ve worked with students, alumni, and executives across generations. What have you learned about the power—and sometimes the challenge—of cross-generational mentorship?
- Building a company from the ground up is no small feat—especially one focused on impact. What has been your most unexpected joy—and your most humbling lesson—as a founder so far?
