As a sponsor for Microsoft’s Diversity & Inclusion Councils across global locations, Dan helps ensure multiple diversity pillars are supported across the organization. Dan has demonstrated incredible commitment to ensure LGBT+ diversity receives top mindshare, resourcing and support from the executive leadership level through to individual contributors – from keynote event speeches, sponsorship and mentoring of LGBT+ individuals, to sharing his personal journey to grow ally networks. Through his global executive sponsorship, he created spotlight opportunities which resulted in reframing success goals and measures for D&I Councils and energized individual contributor and senior leaders to integrate LGBT+ messaging as part of culture development. In addition, Dan is a funding supporter of the COVID-19 Global LGBTIQ Emergency Fund and BelongTo, and a member of The Human Rights Commission, the 30% Club, and Men Advocating Real Change (MARC). This is Dan’s seventh consecutive year on the Ally Executives Role Model list.
