Women who lead from the room they were left out of.

The Garden's Executive Club is a private network for C-level executives, founders and rising VPs — the women already making decisions, already carrying the weight, and rarely finding anyone in the room who understands it.

The worst place to find yourself is climbing a ladder with nowhere to go, and no one to catch you should you fall.

The premise

No worries. It is our time and it is our turn. We are getting ready to change this narrative for good.
Ebony Ormond-HamFounder & Chief Executive Officer

Men have long enjoyed support networks built for them. Women have had fewer options — particularly when they are younger, when the rooms are thinnest and the climb is steepest.

We are changing this narrative by building the room ourselves: mentorship across industries, focused coaching, and a table where the women already in the seat know what the view looks like.

23%

of executive roles in the United States are held by women.

The Garden's Executive Club exists for the women already shattering glass ceilings everywhere — and for the ones still waiting for one to crack.

Inside the club

Four ways we show up for each other

No keynote stages. No name-badge churn. Four small, deliberate formats that make it possible to say the difficult thing out loud.

01

Core Group

A curated peer group of ten career contemporaries, meeting monthly to work through real problems in confidence. Each group has a dedicated Core guide — a professional facilitator experienced in executive leadership development.

02

Salon Series

Virtual gatherings built to connect and sharpen. Conversations with people who have done it, and workshops for senior leaders who want to keep an edge.

03

Connection

Strong ties between leaders across industries. Members stay close to their Core group and close to the wider community — the part most networks never actually deliver.

04

Global Domination

Open in Georgia, with a flagship clubhouse in North Carolina, and a commitment to giving women a vehicle of impact well beyond the state lines.

By design

The only organisation built for women already seated at the table.

To be accepted, applicants must be C-level or a rising VP. The Garden's Executive Club was designed from the ground up around the reality of that seat — the decisions, the isolation, and the particular weight of being the only woman in the room.

Our members are senior leaders drawn from healthcare, tech, finance, logistics, real estate, construction and professional services. Not a list of titles. A room.

Eight generations is too long to wait.

The Garden's Executive Club was founded to drive women forward into positions of power — and to keep them there. We are not waiting eight generations. We are building the room now.
