Background

Mindy Santo joined Momentum in October of 2019 as Mentor Coordinator to expand the mentor matching services and coordinate the program on a daily basis. Mindy assists in processing requests, making matches, mentor training and recruiting, ongoing communications, and tracking results.

Mindy enjoyed 20 years of experience in the corporate retail, merchandising and event industries. Her flair for connecting to customers, creating experiences and meetings led her to take a leap of faith to focus on helping others create a better, intentional life for themselves…Mindy had navigated both corporate and entrepreneurial journeys and she looks forward to walking with others on theirs.

She feels like she has a superpower to “see” potential in people! These skills are a perfect match for her work as an Empowerment Coach – where she encourages women to learn how to tap into their strength and power so they can realize their full potential – and as Momentum’s Mentor Coordinator where she matches mentors and mentees to help them reach their important goals and thrive.
