We help CEOs and senior leaders rise to the greatest challenges they’ve ever faced.

We’re Bartlett Cooke.

We passionately believe that business can be a force for good. And we also believe that most business leaders want that too.

You just sometimes need a helping hand figuring out how.

That’s where we come in.

Our founder and CEO, Tony Cooke, is an internationally recognised sustainability leadership expert and certified Executive Coach who has worked with change agents for over 30 years across 17 sectors and 5 continents to drive transformation and impact.

Together with a carefully chosen network of senior associates, we bring together deep expertise and international experience of sustainability leadership, strategy and change management with executive and team coaching skills to provide a uniquely holistic service capable of ‘hand-holding’ your business from key individuals and teams through to organisational scale solutions.

Some of the organisations we’ve worked with over the years

Leaders are in at the sustainability deep end.

In recent years, momentum and stakeholder pressure has built around the world for companies large and small to make ever bolder Net Zero and other ESG commitments. In turn, this has led to a rapid increase in the need for senior sustainability leaders. In fact, there’s been a 4x increase in the past 6 years of newly created Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) and Sustainability Director roles at major companies.

Many of this next generation of sustainability leaders have the technical grasp of the sustainability agenda, but are in at the ‘leadership deep end’ having to quickly build influence and alliances at the highest levels to win hearts and minds, align resources, embed sustainability into corporate strategy and drive results.

Similarly, CEOs face unprecedented risks and opportunities, presenting many complex dilemmas and trade-offs to resolve, and stakeholders to satisfy.

Every business leader is trying to figure out how to successfully navigate the sustainability agenda in a way which creates new value, capitalises on opportunities and mitigates risks.
