Team up with experienced and like-minded Senior Executives. Work with a group of Non-Executive Directors that support the growth of your business.

Learn, share, and grow shoulder-to-shoulder with experienced and generous executives.

As Founder and Senior Partner, Eleanor Cannon leads a group of Chief Executives, Managing Directors, and Senior Executives across the UK. The Founders’ Group comes together once a month for a customised Masterclass, written specifically for the group and to then problem solve on issues affecting the performance of their organisations. Founders’ Groups are made of up to 20 Senior Executives drawn from across the UK.

Founder’s Groups combine their experience with having the unconditional support of a team of Non-Executive Directors drawn from non-competing sectors. Each member of a Founders’ Gorup supports each other confidentially and unreservedly. This support is priceless, particularly on the thorny, difficult issues that we struggle with, holding each other to account for tackling these issues with strength and courage.

We only have three robust criteria for working with clients:

Testimonials

The Founders' Group is a phenomenal opportunity to learn with leaders with a passion for all they do. The Rubicon Partnership brings together a blend of personalities, experience and creativity that inspires member's personal growth and impact.

SCOTTISH HOUSING ASSOCIATION

The Founders' Group has been one of, if not my absolute, favourite bit of my work with Rubicon Partnership. TO be able to sit around a table and just listen to these business minds discuss their businesses, their challenges and their strategies for overcoming those challenges would be good enough. But to be part of that team and be able to ask them for help with my business, with my challenges is invaluable. Being a business owner and a leader can be a lonely place at times but Founders Group gives me somewhere to go to feel part of a team. Founders' is one of the favourite parts of my business now.

MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY

I joined The Founders' Group when my business was going through dramatic change. The mix of 121 and group sessions with pan sector business leaders, to process business critical issues, is a powerful, grounding and effective learning experience for developing an emotionally intelligent and impactful leadership style.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – FOOD MANUFACTURING

I feel privileged to have been invited to join the group, not only have I met some wonderful people I have learned so much from them and their approach to deal with things in a different way. The group genuinely cares for each other and have found their support to be invaluable in so many ways.
