They’re a student advocating for human rights in Bangladesh, a neuroscientist and dancer combining those interests in Finland, a documentary filmmaker in Nigeria, and a regenerative agriculture enthusiast in Hungary.

Meet the leaders working in a range of fields in nearly a dozen countries who were selected to participate in the third cohort of the Tällberg Leaders Mentoring Leaders (TLML) program.

TLML, for which the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) provides lead support, launched two years ago as a complement to the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize. Fifteen emerging leaders, selected from 408 applications submitted from 96 countries, will be paired with established leaders from Tällberg Foundation’s network for a year of one-on-one mentorship.

True leaders forgo facile ‘answers’ to seek real solutions,” said SNF Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos. “Knowing that emerging leaders like these, grounded in universal human values, are at work around the world with border-transcending support from the Tällberg network is reason for optimism in the future.
