Building leaders who can sustain the pace.
“Those first years were some of the loneliest”
Partner. The title you work toward. But what happens after you get there?
“A couple of partners had told me those first years as a partner were some of the loneliest of my career,” Amy explains. The shift from employee to partner brought unexpected challenges – suddenly, the clear expectations were gone.
Baillie Gifford turned to Hintsa to support their partners. “The Hintsa programme is unique because it goes beyond traditional business coaching.” With over 80% of partners having completed it, there’s now a shared understanding of what it means to show up as a leader.

Starting from the inside out.
Leadership that lasts
Operating in a fiercely competitive investment landscape, Baillie Gifford knows that sustainable performance starts with sustainable leaders.
“I often laugh with colleagues that I hear my Hintsa coach in my ear, reminding me of what I should be doing,” Amy says. The programme’s impact comes through small behavioural nudges that stick – and deep mentoring relationships that both challenge and support.
“The biggest impact has been understanding ourselves better – truly facing the question: what does it mean to be a leader?” The result? Leaders who love their roles and have the resilience to sustain the pace.
Let’s talk.
