The Power of One
Twenty years ago, Mobile Mentor began with a bold idea: to help individuals unlock the full potential of their personal technology. It started with hour-long, one-on-one mentoring sessions, guiding busy professionals through the complexities of setting up their first smartphones—transferring data, syncing calendars, setting up email, and troubleshooting the tech-related challenges that came with the rise of mobile devices. It was a simple yet transformative mission.
What made a difference then, and still does today, is the belief that, in a world increasingly defined by digital interactions, the human connection is key. By helping people understand and confidently use their technology, we turned first-time users into empowered tech users, ready to harness the full potential of their devices.
This personal service struck a chord. Starting in New Zealand, Mobile Mentor expanded to Australia, Brazil, China, and parts of Europe, mentoring over 1 million people worldwide. Each interaction helped shape our mission: to empower people to achieve more with their technology.
Technology Changes, Our Mission Remains
In the two decades since those first mentoring sessions, technology has evolved at a breakneck pace. Laptops, tablets, AI tools, and hybrid work have become everyday staples. Alongside these advancements, the need for strong security measures has also grown, making robust protection more critical than ever.
Through it all, one thing has remained constant—our empathy for the human experience with technology. No matter how advanced technology becomes, it can still be intimidating. That’s why, even as our services have expanded to encompass endpoint management, cybersecurity, and AI governance, our core mission remains the same: empowering people by making technology work for them.
Looking Ahead: The Next 20 Years of Empowerment
Mobile Mentor has come a long way since those early mentoring days. Today, we empower millions of people across the globe, helping them balance the demands of security and productivity in an ever-changing digital landscape. From managing multiple devices to navigating the complexities of remote and hybrid work, our focus is on ensuring that people can thrive with the technology at their fingertips.
As the next 20 years unfold, Mobile Mentor will continue to evolve alongside technology, with a commitment to helping people stay productive, secure, and connected. The rapid advancements in areas like AI, automation, and cybersecurity will present new challenges and opportunities, but our mission to empower people with their technology will remain steadfast.
We’re proud to celebrate this 20-year milestone, and we’re excited for what the future holds.
Here’s to the next 20 years of empowering people to achieve more with technology!
