The inaugural ADPList100 2022 marks the first time we’re collectively shining a spotlight on our top contributing and most beloved mentors. Everything we’ve accomplished as a platform, every milestone this community has attained, was only made possible because of the selfless acts of generosity our mentors have displayed. We’re recognising the effort and energy put into the millions of mentorship minutes, the hundreds of thousands of members you’ve empowered, the invaluable impact you’ve driven.
While we would have loved to acknowledge every single mentor, we must aim for brevity! As it is, we have already exceeded 100. From pioneers, leaders, and designers to product managers, developers, and marketers, here are the most impactful mentors of 2022.
