Co-founded by John Allan and Anna Joseph, J&A Mentoring Partners represents a group of highly experienced chairmen and former CEOs who are passionate about mentoring and its power to expedite the professional development of very senior leaders. With a strong focus on Board and ExCo level talent, J&A operates across ownership structures and its roster of mentors can add value to: • large listed corporates (our mentors chair or deputy chair 12 FTSE 100 companies between them) • professional services firms (4 of our mentors have led leading professional services outfits including McKinsey, PwC, Deloitte and Slaughter & May) • large private and PE invested companies • government and policy organisations • leading charities Specific situations where J&A Mentoring can add particular value include: • new appointees to boards and ExCo committees, irrespective of functional role • new appointees from outside the UK to leadership positions in UK headquartered companies (ie an induction into UK ‘plc’) • internal succession benches to CEO and CFO roles (we are the only mentoring company to have a specific cadre of Mentors with very recent FTSE 100 CEO experience) • first time FTSE 100 & 250 chairmen looking for a brief immersion in the evolution of style, governance principles and boardroom effectiveness that will help make their first 100 days a success • to mitigate risk for nomination committees deciding on significant strategic appointments
