Nicci Take

Nicci first came out by crossdressing at the office Christmas Party in 2012, in order to drive a culture change in the business. It not only made the business more diverse but more successful, and in 2017 she decided that professionally she needed to present as female permanently. They now use her “coming out” as a filter, for staff, new hires and clients. She trains and presents around the world as Nicci and starts all her sessions with an open and honest statement of her identity. She uses diversity to help her clients win, and fundamentally selects her clients on their D&I and Women policies. Externally, Nicci is a mentor to young trans people, and actively takes part in fundraising for trans organisations, such as UK charity Gendered Intelligence. She is a comedian and author, and uses her personal brand to raise awareness for trans issues at every opportunity.
