Summary

The Women In Sales Mentorship program at Twilio has had a significant impact on the company's global Go-To-Market sales organization, impacting over 350 Twilions, both mentors and mentees. The program was inspired by two women sales professionals who replicated a mentorship experience from their own careers and recognized the need for a similar program within Twilio. With support from leadership and the Women In Sales group, the program has expanded to reach every region where Twilio has customers, with participants coming from diverse backgrounds and experiencing career growth, professional development, and improved sales skills. The program's success is attributed to its inclusive nature, with both male and female mentors involved, and a focus on building trust and stronger teams through cross-gender impact. As the program continues to grow, Twilio aims to foster a culture of mentoring and empowerment in 2023.
