Alan Young leads the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) Programme at Marsh Pacific. In 2026, the company achieved its second consecutive Gold employer status at the Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards, establishing Marsh as an industry leader in LGBTQ+ inclusion across insurance, superannuation and professional services. As Co-Chapter Lead of the Marsh Pride Employee Network in Melbourne, he brings senior leaders and LGBTQ+ colleagues together to celebrate difference.
Off the clock, Alan recently co-founded Melbourne Queer Irish, a home away from home for queer Irish emigrants. He’s been a passionate advocate since coming out more than 8 years ago, as Vice Chairperson of the Central Bank of Ireland’s Rainbow Network, presenter on Pride Vibes Radio (Wireless Media Group), and creator and host of his self-produced podcast, Queer Revelations. Drawing on his journey of acceptance, Alan continues to champion inclusive spaces where everyone can be their best, be seen and belong.
