As Global Co-Chair of the HSBC Pride ERG, Jamie has championed efforts towards driving LGBTQ+ inclusive HR policy improvements for Same-Sex and Trans colleagues across the globe. Family-building benefits such as surrogacy, adoption and elective fertility preservation are being expanded in the US. Self-ID and pronoun fields were globally added to the HR employee repository, and name pronunciation was added to the HR directory. Jamie participated in OutWOMEN’s ‘Women in the Financial World’ panel during Out Leadership’s June 2022 Proudly Resilient series in NYC and in 2021 led a panel at Out & Equal’s Summit entitled ‘HSBC – Families with Pride’ to discuss different LGBTQ+ paths to family creation including fertility treatments, adoption, surrogacy, and best practices working with HR to create inclusive policy. She advocates for corporate activism, where HSBC USA signed HRC’s business statement on anti-LGBTQ State Legislation in 2021, an amicus brief in for the inclusion of sexual orientation in the Civil Rights Act in 2020, and the statement for Employment Non-Discrimination Act in 2019.
