At Citi, Nicholas initiated a new annual LGBT+ recruitment evening for over 75 high potential candidates directed at filling business lines where women and LGBT+ students are under-represented. This included sponsorship by one of the global directors of the firm. Despite recently joining, he is a committee member of Pride where he reverse mentors one of the global heads of the firm and informally mentors several bankers who are different stages of ‘coming out’ both within and beyond Citi. He leads relationships with the LGBT+ groups at several European business schools and was featured by Inside & Out, an annual recruitment event for undergraduates seeking roles in investment banking. Externally, the main focus of his activities has been as Co-President of the Out In Business Club at London Business School. Working as the sole LGBT+ student ambassador for the university with admissions, he trebled the LGBT+ intake over the past 2 years to and increased the number of women and bisexual students. He also sits on the scholarship award committee for the Reaching Out MBA Fellowship, is a trained Diversity Role Model and is on the executive committee of Out Next at Out Leadership for the London chapter.
