🌟 Journeys of Empowerment - Episode 4 🌟

Today, we’re joined by Navid Mohamadi, founder of SHEXON. We met at the DNNL Demo Day Event, where Navid delivered one of the 11 highly energizing pitches from a group of inspiring social-impact entrepreneurs, each on transformative missions. The DNNL program is a 12-week journey of intensive training, coaching, mentorship, and guidance, perfect for rising stars like Navid.

Navid’s story is one of turning his own early childhood experiences & experience as an international student into a mission to bridge the gap for others. With a Ph.D. in supply chain and operations management, Navid combines his expertise in sustainability with a commitment to tackling one of the job market’s most overlooked challenges: the talent gap affecting international graduates.

In this episode, Navid shares:

  • How his journey from an international student to founder of SHEXON inspired a platform built on community, mentorship, and meaningful connections;
  • The early childhood experiences that shaped his intrinsic motivation to care for the people around him;
  • The importance of resilience in his personal and professional journey, and how it fuels his commitment to helping others thrive;
  • The waste of talent he witnessed, as highly skilled international graduates leave the Netherlands due to a lack of networks and support;
  • SHEXON's mission to empower students, ensuring they feel confident, prepared, and supported as they pursue their careers;
  • How companies can tap into SHEXON’s network to engage diverse talent, strengthen employer branding, and drive inclusion.

With a focus on social impact and global collaboration, Navid is not only connecting people but fostering a vision for a future where diversity and sustainable careers go hand in hand.
