# Board & Executive Mentoring by Bird & Co
Founded in 2008, Bird & Co is a specialist mentoring firm that develops senior leaders and board directors through personalised one-to-one mentoring, tailored programmes and group masterclasses. Based in London, they work exclusively with accomplished executives seeking external, impartial guidance at critical career junctures.
The firm serves board directors, C-suite executives, aspiring non-executive directors (NEDs) and high-potential employees across FTSE 100 and 250 companies, private enterprises and non-corporate organisations. Over 100 major organisations have engaged their services, with more than 1,000 individuals mentored to date.
What distinguishes Bird & Co is their unwavering focus on substance over superficiality. Their mentors—current senior directors of substantial organisations with collective experience across 60 FTSE boards—bring real-world insight into the complexities of executive and board-level leadership. Rather than casual conversations, mentoring is underpinned by rigorous content including master class data, templates and guidelines.
The firm has built particular renown for supporting executive women. Their Glass Ladder programme, launched in 2008, has mentored over 400 women executives and boasts an exceptional track record: 45 graduates have secured 102 board appointments, with two-thirds achieving multiple board positions.
Their client retention rate of 90% reflects genuine impact. Bird & Co deliberately maintains no corporate agenda, positioning themselves as trusted, independent advisors navigating clients through boardroom transitions, strategic challenges and leadership development.
