Georgina Fogo

Georgina is the Executive Sponsor of the LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group and Chair of the DEI Committee at Janus Henderson. Georgina’s mission is to be a visible and vocal ally with the aim of creating a safe and inclusive work environment for everyone at Janus Henderson. In the past two years, she has organized Trans Awareness training for the Executive Committee to promote awareness and emphasize the importance of creating the right environment to support trans employees and their families. She supported a ‘Trans Inclusion: The Basics’ education session for her employees and has been an active and vocal supporter of the business case, from the firm’s LGBTQ+ ERG to the Executive Committee to fund monetary benefits to support surrogacy, adoption, and gender affirmation for employees. Georgina championed gender pronouns in the organization, working with the Head of Diversity to agree on email signatures and guidelines incorporating the use of pronouns. She promotes awareness of the LGBTQ+ employee group and internal and external events, through messages, emails and newsletters as well and appeals to the Executive Committee and attends LGBTQ+ events to show visible allyship and support.
