About
Bio: Stuart joined Fidelity International in 2015 and is currently Global Head of Personal Investing and Advisory. He has been a key driving force in helping establish the Diversity framework at Fidelity and has led on both Gender and LGBT+ pillars in that time.
Prior to joining Fidelity Stuart spent nine years with TD Bank Group, holding leadership roles in Finance, Operations, Change Management and Technology before taking the role of CEO NatWest Stockbroker and then CEO TD Direct Investing. He established the Diversity Council at TD Direct Investing in the UK and was the Gender pillar lead.
Stuart started his career as a Chartered Accountant - training with PWC - and then spent time in Finance at Lloyds Banking Group and Equifax.
He comments: "I am the executive ally sponsor for the LGBT+ network at Fidelity because I have a strong belief in creating a working environment where everyone feels comfortable being themselves, and where all are treated equitably. Allyship for me is about working to help everybody feel included, valued and comfortable being themselves, and this is the spirit at the very heart of Fidelity. I am extremely proud of my LGBT+ colleagues, friends and family and the ongoing work we all do at Fidelity to help everyone feel welcome and included. Fidelity is proud be to an original founding member of LGBT Great and together we have made fantastic progress on the agenda as an organisation."
