Elizabeth “Ging” Hoyumpa

Ging instituted a Pride+ chapter in American Express Manila, which she consequently led for two years. By her third year, she was invited to the company’s Global Pride Committee. The Pride+ Manila chapter leveraged data in the company’s Employee Satisfaction Survey to baseline the LGBTQ+ experiences, identify focus areas, and implement strategies to improve the LGBTQ+ employees’ experiences. Ging, along with the Pride+ Manila Chapter, organized learning sessions for the country executives and people leaders on Unconscious Bias, Sexual Orientation Gender Identity and Express, and Allyship. These captured the hearts of members and allies alike by elevating LGBTQ+ narratives in podcasts and webinars. Ging with the rest of Pride+ Manila extended the company’s LGBTQ+ activities to neighboring markets in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Malaysia and assisted in creating allyship networks and a safe space in these markets.
