Program Notes
The 2024 SGWIT cohort officially concludes on May 31, 2025. Soon, you’ll receive one last communication from Christine Rafiekian to close out the cohort and offer points of contact for your work with SelectUSA moving forward.
As you near the end of your mentorship journey, we encourage you to connect with your mentorship match/group and begin a dialogue about how you would like to stay connected once the official program concludes.
This is a great time to look back at your goals from the start of the cohort, reflect on your progress, share feedback, and express gratitude to your mentorship match/group for their support and engagement.
Spotlight on Success
Share success stories and inspire the SGWIT Community! Reach out to Christine Rafiekian to highlight your story.
We recently connected with Keith Matsumoto (SGWIT mentor) and Lenita Putri (SGWIT mentee) to learn about how their mentorship match has supported Lenita’s U.S. expansion plans! Both Lenita and Keith shared testimonials below to highlight how SGWIT has impacted them. Their comments emphasize how a mentorship match built on mutual respect can serve as a catalyst for professional growth.
Thank you for sharing your mentorship story, Lenita and Keith!
“I was honored to participate as a mentor in the Select Global Women in Tech Program this year. I was privileged to mentor an amazing woman entrepreneur from Bali, Indonesia. She is wonderfully impressive and serves as an inspiring role model for women and girls aspiring to start their own companies. Startups, especially those hoping to expand to the U.S., face numerous challenges and barriers. The Select Global Women in Tech mentorship network provides a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment through one-on-one meetings where mentees can receive the candid, and targeted assistance they need to overcome these challenges and thrive. I look forward to continuing to support SelectUSA and SGWIT!” – Keith Matsumoto, Mentor
"I am thrilled to showcase the transformative power of mentorship, exemplified by Keith, a visionary leader and insightful guide. As a participant in the Select Global Women in Tech Program, I benefited from the invaluable guidance from Keith, a dedicated mentor with long experience in the business. I am grateful for the opportunity to highlight Keith and SGWIT’s crucial role in empowering women to overcome entrepreneurial challenges and thrive in the global tech landscape. I am honored by my mentor's words of praise and admiration, and proud to celebrate my achievements over the course of the year we’ve had the privilege and pleasure to work together." – Lenita Putri, Mentee
