Mentorship is the engine for career acceleration. As WiiN prepares to launch our 6th Cohort this March, we are thrilled to announce that Merit has stepped up as our official Mentorship Programme Sponsor for 2026.
Designed to empower the next generation of women leaders across the rewards, incentives, engagement, and technology industries, the program connects high-potential women with senior leaders and entrepreneurs through a structured, human-centered mentorship journey.
The 2026 cohort supported and led by Jane Viljoen, Chartered Psychologist and a
Multiple Award-Winning Executive Coach of Best Hopes Coaching and Consulting Ltd, will focus on:
● Leadership confidence and decision-making
● Career acceleration and entrepreneurship
● Building sustainable networks across regions and industries
● Turning ambition into long-term impact
Reflecting on the mission behind the programme, Julie Barbier, CEO at Merit and
Co-Founder at WiiN, commented: “Women inspiring women is how confidence
becomes leadership.”
Are you ready to join us? Applications for Cohort 6 are now open for both mentors and mentees.
