He also leads Goldman Sachs’ Managing Director Allies program in Hong Kong, and has driven analyses to help the network increase its impact within the firm, including membership surveys to ensure the needs of stakeholders are heard. He also led the effort to introduce gender neutral bathrooms in their Hong Kong office earlier this year. Externally, Kent drove Goldman Sachs’ role as a signatory on the Hong Kong Equal Opportunities Commission’s LGBT+ anti-discrimination statement in 2016. He has spoken at a number of public events on the importance of LGBT+ inclusion, including as a panelist for “Driving Best Practice in LGBT+ Inclusion” hosted by Community Business.
