Established in 2008 to support the Middle East and North Africa region in reaching its ’80-100m jobs by 2020’ goal, Mowgli Mentoring was founded by Tony Bury, a serial entrepreneur who had spent over 40 years in the MENA region, to catalyze the support and development of successful an… read mored sustainable entrepreneurship in the region. Mowgli also focuses on the development of leadership and supporting entrepreneurship ecosystems as a critical solution to the region’s unemployment, poverty and economic challenges.
Upon reflection of his own multiple entrepreneurial journeys, Tony realised that one of the main factors behind his success was the continuous development of his human capacity and the role that his mentors played in shaping him as an entrepreneur, father, husband, friend and mentor.
It was upon this realisation that Mowgli’s mission was formed, which is for every entrepreneur to be matched and supported by at least one trained and capable mentor and for a long term trust based relationship to be developed. From that point, once someone has experienced the true benefits and joy of mentoring, we believe that they will go on to mentor others, changing societies and leadership development models with the ‘to Serve is to Lead’ principle at its core.
