The power of mentorship – Annemarie Blotwijk and Yiyang Lin

Published On: november 19th, 2025

Annemarie Blotwijk and Yiyang Lin as mentor and mentee in Mentor4TalentMentoring: The Best Way to Pay It Forward!

At RoundTable Topvrouwen, we believe in the transformative power of mentorship — for both mentees and mentors.

Annemarie Blotwijk shares:
“I joined the Mentor4Talent program because I believe mentorship accelerates growth. Having benefited from great mentors myself, I want to give back by sharing my experience and insights to help emerging talent navigate their career paths. At the same time, I see this as an opportunity to keep learning and growing through fresh perspectives and meaningful exchanges.”

Yiyang Lin adds:
“My mentor guides me through strategic thinking and helps me tackle current challenges, making tangible progress! The different perspectives she brings beyond my fixed Shell way of thinking are highly valuable.”

Annemarie Blotwijk and Yiyang Lin joined the Mentor4Talent program earlier this year — they are connected as mentor and mentee. Annemarie is Head of Product Management, Marketing and Design at Philips and Yiyang is Product Manager for base chemicals at Shell.

Their stories show how impactful these connections can be.
