Margot sits on Sodexo’s global LGBT+ leadership team and has been influential in ensuring LGBT+ considerations are included in Sodexo’s Global D&I strategy, and that practical guides to LGBT+ inclusion have been developed for use across the globe. In July when Sodexo joined with Disney to sponsor an Out & Equal event for 300 senior leaders, she fronted the event for Sodexo UK & Ireland. Externally, she has featured in the OUTstanding LGBT+ Top 100 business leaders for three years and has spoken at 27 external D&I events, promoting LGBT+ equality at work to over 3,000 people. They included eBay’s D&I Week, the Ireland Funds’ Young Irish Leaders Breakfast, Bank of Ireland’s LGBT Network launch, and Pride Week at Irish Life Plc. She has also been featured extensively in the media as an LGBT+ role model, including pieces in the Irish Times and the Irish Independent. Among various accolades, Margot was named Irish Tatler’s Businesswoman of the Year 2016 and, in 2017, was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Merite by the French Ambassador to Ireland for promoting diversity and inclusion in the community and industry.
