Under Katie Toole’s leadership as Global Co-Chair of PRISM, BNY’s LGBTQ+ network, the organization has made significant strides in fostering inclusion. Katie has spearheaded initiatives like the company’s pronoun campaign, gender-neutral bathrooms, and global panels on belonging. She (and her co-chair) have grown PRISM membership by 45% and organized safe space conversations across multiple regions. Externally, Katie has collaborated with PERSAD as an Executive Board Member to help create health and wellness for the LGBTQ+ community (i.e., fitness space for transgender clients and curated impactful artwork for LGBTQ+ fundraiser, Art for Change). Her recognition as one of LGBT Great’s Top 100 Gamechangers (2022 & 2024) reflects her transformative impact on the global LGBTQ+ community.
