Founder & CEO, The Bridge
Kenny Bhosale
Former Navy leader, executive coach and founder of The Bridge. I help organisations build better leaders and stronger teams, with development that delivers real results.
My story
From leading in the Navy to building The Bridge.
Kia ora, I’m Kenny. Before founding The Bridge in 2022, I served 18 years in the New Zealand Defence Force, in operational and strategic leadership roles across maritime operations, multinational deployments, disaster response and government. One of my most rewarding roles was leading the Royal New Zealand Navy Leadership Training School.
That’s where I saw the gap. Plenty of leadership theory, not enough practical skill that holds up when it matters. The Bridge exists to close that gap, with evidence-based development that gets results without leaders losing who they are.
Today I lead a growing team of coaches and leadership specialists, working with organisations across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Our goal is to build Australasia’s leading leadership development company.

What leaders say
In their words.
“I have been working with Kenny for over a year now and can’t recommend him highly enough. He has mentored me in the leadership space and always provides a different perspective for me to consider when developing business strategies and strategies for my own personal growth.”
Steve, CEO“Kenny has an uncanny ability to hold a mirror up so that you come to your own conclusions in a way that seems like he has planted those seeds somehow. The interactions with Kenny were fun. I looked forward to them, and always found the time went by in the blink of an eye.”
Helen, Managing Director“Following on from a great Leadership Course with Kenny, we had 1:1 sessions about the current challenges. The way Kenny asked questions and challenged my thinking was amazing. I’ve now managed to implement and lead with much more clarity and positivity!”
