As a highly visible role model, Pips is often approached by colleagues for advice and support on many topics including helping them to ‘come out’ in the workplace. She uses her platform to drive many LGBT+ inclusion items within the firm, particularly through reverse mentoring the EMEA CEO, to educate him on the importance of LGBT+ inclusion and need for the changes they are effecting. In addition to her job role, Pips is an active member of the LGBT+ and Ally Network steering committee and co-lead of the LGBT+ and Ally Program which drives ally engagement. She has authored the ‘Trans* Your Questions Answered’ educational guide which was circulated to 4000+ allies internally, and featured in ‘Credit Suisse LGBT+ Ally Program: Focus on Trans*’. She also recently partnered with the UK Benefits team to achieve significant enhancements to the organisation’s private medical cover for Trans* individuals. Externally, Pips partners with many charities and corporates to raise awareness of LGBT+ and non-binary inclusion, including the OUTstanding Trans* Advisory Group, and as an ambassador for Trans*formation. She is a highly active speaker and regularly appears on panels, all around the topics of trans* awareness, gender expression, and the importance of ally programmes.
