Cameron Krueger, founder and managing director of Krueger and Krueger, mentors by first looking for natural curiosity: people who ask how something can be done rather than why it can’t. From there, exposure matters most, putting young talent in client meetings and rooms they otherwise wouldn’t be in.

“The most fulfilling part of mentoring is watching someone discover what makes them remarkable,” Krueger says. “My job has always been to open that door and then get out of the way and watch them flourish.”

Krueger points to Josh Bridge, whom he met at a client site early in Bridge’s career and hired twice, as one of his proudest mentoring successes. The two remain close today, and Krueger calls that relationship a chance meeting followed by a bet on potential.
