Beyond donations: unleashing leadership potential

At La Fosse, we believe that giving back isn’t just about financial donations. It’s about mobilising the expertise and insight that C-suite leaders possess to create systemic, sustained impact for the causes that matter most. 

Through ConnEx, we’re building a movement that transforms how leadership talent can be deployed for good. We place top-tier business leaders into advisory roles with charities, providing strategic guidance, expert insight and mentorship that helps organisations reach their full potential. 

This is leadership as a force for change, with a strong focus on purpose, innovation, trust and long-term partnerships.

Testimonials

“Access to strategic advice that’s tailored to a [charity’s] needs is best provided by those that have worked within industry. We’ve seen a real impact in the organisations we’ve partnered with.”

Ben de la Salle Pro Bono Advisor and CEO Founder at ICA Consulting

“La Fosse’s creation of a platform for pro bono work is an innovative solution to solve the real problems these organisations face and will allow me to give back to a cause more than I ever would be able to in donations.”

Steve Wright Pro Bono Advisor and CEO founder at Privacy Culture Limited

“La Fosse Pro Bono has provided us with invaluable access to advice and mentorship from an industry-leader in the security space, allowing us to continue to campaign for our causes safely and effectively.”

Mike Robinson Head of Technology at Amnesty International

“La Fosse placed a pro bono Cyber Advisor into the Natural History Museum during my tenure as Interim CIO. The level of understanding and assurance that the CISO brought to the executive stakeholders at the NHM was invaluable, evolving a challenging and complex area into a clearly understood topic with confidence and progression.”

Ian Golding Technology Executive

Case study: Amnesty International

We partnered with Amnesty International to place an advisory role, supporting the organisation to optimise the business’s security protocols. 

We approached professionals in our senior network about the prospect of supporting Amnesty International on a consultative basis for a few days per quarter. The proposition was met with widespread interest, and we presented a shortlist of high-calibre candidates for interview. 

Amnesty International subsequently appointed Steve Wright, CEO Founder of Privacy Culture Limited, who has previously held senior security roles at Bank of England, John Lewis, Unilever and Deloitte.
