Meet Bianca Forde
Founder of The Stewardship Group
Bianca's work is grounded in a conviction she developed over nearly two decades in courtrooms, government service, global law firms, and complex corporations: policies and values tell people what's expected, but the conditions inside an institution determine what people actually do.
Built for This Work
Bianca began her career as a litigator at leading international law firms, representing clients in high-stakes domestic and cross-border disputes spanning New York, London, and Dubai. She later served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Washington, D.C., where she led investigations and tried cases involving fraud, public corruption, violent crime, narcotics trafficking, and other serious misconduct.
In both roles, she saw the same pattern: by the time a case reaches a courtroom, the conditions that produced it have usually been in place for years.
Bianca went on to hold a series of executive roles at a highly matrixed Fortune 500 company. She led global investigations, served as Chief Compliance Officer for the Americas, and later designed and scaled a proactive, data-informed approach to business integrity across the enterprise.
The experience taught her that lasting institutional change requires more than a sound recommendation. It requires understanding how the organization actually works, identifying the conditions keeping the problem alive, and staying close enough to help the new approach take hold.
Why Bianca Founded The Stewardship Group
Bianca founded The Stewardship Group because she believes good governance should be within reach of every organization, not just the largest corporations or those in highly regulated industries. Her experience has shown that putting values into everyday practice strengthens trust, protects resources, reduces avoidable costs, and helps organizations deliver on their business or mission priorities.
Throughout her career, she saw firsthand the limits of policies and training when incentives rewarded the wrong behavior, accountability was unclear, or important concerns never reached the people who could act on them. The firm finds and fixes those conditions so that strategy, mission, and values hold under pressure.
