He says: "I am a passionate advocate of diversity and inclusion. As an LGBT+ executive sponsor and a member of the Diversity Project Advisory Council, I am strongly committed to ensuring that all associates at Russell Investments can bring their whole selves to work and feel fully accepted for who they are. In my role as a leader, I believe it is crucial to continue fostering an inclusive culture for the sustainability of our organisation's success.
Feeling part of a community is essential to everyone's wellbeing in my view and this is why advocating for allyship is so important to me. Allyship is truly intersectional. It's a way to forge deep connections between people with different backgrounds. This is more important than ever during the current covid-19 crisis as it is critical to have a personal support and personal network during this period of isolation."
