Since joining BT in 2010, Dan has become the Executive Sponsor for the LGBT+ community, and helped gather executive support for the successful launch of their Allies programme, which now has over 1000 subscribers. He participated in a video alongside LGBT+ employees, the CEO, senior executives and others to address why BT believes in the value of bringing your whole self to work. At work, Dan strives to role model the “normality of being out”, but is very aware that in certain circumstances it is easier to be out the more senior one is and so works to address the culture up and down the organisation. Externally, Dan participates in OUTstanding’s mentoring programme and is now seeing his second mentee. He also mentors widely in BT, to people of diverse orientation. He regularly participates InterLaw’s programmes, and last year spoke at the launch of its BAME + Allies inaugural event.
