Evan is committed to leveraging his professional skills to contribute to and promote LGBT+ diversity in the community. Evan was previously a member of the launch committee for UK Gaingels, a mission-based affinity organisation which leverages investment in companies that have at least one LGBT executive or founder, and, when he lived in New York, he did pro bono legal work for the Ali Forney Center, a charity supporting homeless LGBT youth.
Evan comments: "I am privileged to work for a company that is so dedicated to supporting diversity and inclusion and am proud to represent Man Group as a Project 1000 role model. It's not always easy for those of us who identify as LGBT+ to be open about who we are in the workplace, and I hope that serving as a role model can help promote an environment where others within the financial services industry feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to work, without fear of consequence."
