How to build a high-impact board — with Sophie Birch

In this episode of The Good Growth Podcast, we sit down with Sophie Birch, Head of Non-Executive Talent at BGF, to explore the true impact of non-execs and chairs in scaling businesses. She shares what sets standout NEDs apart (spoiler: culture fit matters), and how board composition should evolve as a business grows.

We also dive into BGF’s thousand-strong talent network and the role of non-execs in strategy and exits, and how BGF is driving greater board diversity—with gender balance on shortlists.

If you’re a founder looking for game-changing board support or an experienced leader considering a non-exec role, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
