As Executive Sponsor for sexual orientation and gender identity at Lloyd’s, Karin’s influence, passion, and sponsorship were the driving force behind the Group’s move to ensure their UK Private Medical Benefit is inclusive of gender dysphoria. Among many things, Karin is now focussed on making the bank easier for trans* customers to deal with. She has pioneered new methods of Group-wide communications and new styles of events around LGBT+ awareness days, ensuring flags were displayed at over 40 Group sites. She has been keynote speaker at events including the Group’s Rainbow network conference, Stonewall Youth Awards, Mermaids annual event and the Pink News Awards. She has hosted a roundtable event with Pink News discussing trans* inclusion with senior political and business leaders, and sponsored both trans* & bi inclusive Lloyds Bank marketing campaigns, an industry first.
