As Executive sponsor for State Street’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride Network, Kim has helped to establish Pride networks in Ireland and Luxembourg with Germany launching at the end of the year. Since the LGBT+ Allies programme commenced last year, Kim has tirelessly promoted and supported the scheme and not only has a flag on her (open) door but transparently wears her promotional lanyard around the office. She also sits on State Street’s Leading Women Executive Forum and is currently working on additional diversity campaigns alongside the Global Executive Committee. Externally, she has spoken at numerous high profile events, including the Workplace Equality Index (WEI) Awards and has recently addressed (internally and externally) the impact the current “speak up” culture might have upon individuals and firms in which fear overrides the wish to speak up and how some individuals feel they need to leave their “authentic self” at home.
