Matej Mendlik is a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion who believes meaningful change starts with bringing people together and creating a sense of belonging.
As Co-Chair of ProudHR, a UK network of LGBTQ+ HR professionals, he has helped grow membership by over 150% to more than 500 professionals and delivered over 20 events in two years, connecting industry leaders and championing inclusive workplaces.
At Prezzee, where he leads marketing across the UK and Europe, Matej has reimagined the Pride Club, transforming it into a company-wide platform for allyship and belonging. Securing executive sponsorship and introducing year-round initiatives, he has brought inclusion into everyday conversations.
His *Come Out With It* initiative inspired colleagues and executives across four countries to share personal stories, sparking genuine connection across cultures and seniority levels.
Matej believes inclusive leadership isn’t just about representing a community, but inspiring others to become part of it.
