Executive Partners
When the role is new, the counsel should come from someone who has carried it.
Executive Partners connects newly appointed or newly stretched C-suite leaders with accomplished former executives (Executive Fellows) who bring relevant experience, candor, and hard-earned judgment.
Request an Executive Partner ConversationThe need
Some leadership questions cannot be answered by a framework alone.
Entering the C-suite changes the scale of decisions, the visibility of mistakes, and the number of stakeholders whose interests must be balanced. An Executive Fellow offers perspective from someone who has faced comparable demands, without the agenda of a boss, board member, investor, or internal colleague.
The relationship
Counsel that respects both experience and context.
Executive Fellows do not prescribe from their own past or operate behind the scenes. They help leaders recognize patterns, anticipate consequences, prepare for pivotal conversations, and develop judgment suited to their own organization and leadership style.
- Careful matchRole, industry, transition, temperament, and developmental needs inform the match.
- 12-month arcA sustained relationship provides continuity across the executive's first cycle of high-stakes moments.

For accomplished executives
Put your experience to work for another leader.
We are always seeking seasoned former executives who want a meaningful way to translate experience into another leader's growth. Fellows are selected for wisdom, curiosity, generosity, discretion, and the ability to help without making the work about themselves.
