Mentorship Committee
The CyAN Mentorship Committee is the core team guiding the development of our global mentorship programme. It brings together CyAN members who are passionate about supporting the next generation of cybersecurity professionals and shaping the programme’s future.
Members of the committee contribute their unique expertise, whether in technical skills, career development, policy, or education. Some may mentor directly. Others provide strategic insight into how the programme is organised and delivered.
The committee collaborates to suggest improvements, strengthen the structure, and ensure the mentorship experience remains impactful and inclusive.
The CyAN mentorship program is managed by Fel Gayanilo, Secretary General, under the guidance from the Mentorship Committee.
